I am sure there is no way I can explain this, but you all seem pretty smart, so here goes. What if they created a chamber using a larger diameter cylinder, say 10" larger than the pipe coming from the well head. There would be a hole in the bottom which is exactly the outside diameter of the broken pipe on the well head. The top of the chamber is left open at this point. The chamber is placed over the well head and welded into place while the oil continues to spew out the open top. The top of the chamber would have braces welded to it which would act sort of like drawer glides. An example would be like how the top of a cigar box slides into grooves cut in the sides. These braces would act like the grooves in the cigar box. But obviously with a lot more surface area to hold the pressure of the flow.A top could be slid into place, cutting off the oil flow and held there by the braces. The top is then welded or bolted to the chamber. The top could have a pipe with a valve installed that would connect to the ship above to capture the oil while the valve would control the flow. Anyway, I'm no engineer and I actually may be an idiot, but it's just a thought I had. Fire away.....
A lot of modern art is sold as a story, and for whatever reason the kind of folks who matter think that "did something by hand a thousand times" is a much better story than "wrote a Perl script."

Art isn't the only thing that has stories, incidentally. Tomatoes have stories these days. (OK, the kind of tomatoes rich people eat have stories. Only poor people eat tomatoes that have no stories.)
I understand they're different, but I don't think most "bootstrapped" companies could say:

"It took us 4 years from the incorporation of our Snowboard business to hit profitability. We had 13 employees at the time."
Personally, it means that I have programmed in a prior life, understand web programming (rails, javascript, et al), can talk intelligently about technologies, but don't want to actually program for a living.

EDIT: Another important point - understanding the business implications of technologies. A lot of people understand the business side, or understand the technical side, but few really understand how they fit together, and how their relationship truly impacts a company.
Have you sent it in? You should ...
Surely if users are tracked then this is no longer a privacy respecting search engine.
Actually no, it says you need a new version of chromium, so the client will know in that case.
Yeah, NeXT got acquired for $427 million, and that was in 1997 dollars. Jobs personally pocketed $100 million in that transaction, plus 1.5 million Apple shares (and remember the stock has split several times since then).
Everyone wants high quality search results, of course. But like I said in my OP, Google is a for profit company that depends on high traffic keyword searches and high volume publishers to maintain their livelihood. It's not that far of a stretch for them to not necessarily be dying for "quality" search results as much as we are. If the lower quality results are making them money, it would be against their own business model to squelch them.

So it really is a question of who this issue is affecting. For us, it's annoying. For Google, it's a profit source.
Wouldn't the ultimate irony be "native" toolkits like Gtk and Qt being normalized through WASM code rendering to a canvas?
Having more speculators actually makes it more likely that the asset is fairly valued.

Speculators are the driving force which "correct" the price of overvalued or undervalued assets. More speculators mean that assets will reach their "fair price" more quickly. In this way speculators actually reduce volatility and make it harder to manipulate the market.

Keep in mind that speculators are not necessarily in long positions, they could also be shorting Bitcoin (which would be the logical thing to do if you believe there's a bubble).
12,000 is on the high end of extreme athlete caloric intake, but not totally outlandish. There are many stories about Iditarod mushers throwing whole sticks of butter into their food for the fat, and a study of one musher showed average consumption of about 9,000 calories per day through the race [1] (with weight loss indicating a deficit of ~2k/day). A quick google says Tour de France racers consume in the range of 6-9k calories per day.

Well, in that spirit look at the popularity on torrent trackers of the Master and Inherent Vice, both directed by PT Anderson, and compare with their box office performance at boxofficemojo.com (plus the wikipedia entries on the films have some additional information about budgets).

I don't feel comfortable discussing how that played out from the producers' standpoint (I'm not one of the producers, so I'll limit myself to saying it has lost money overall), but I hope you can see the incongruity of a highly acclaimed director making serious artistic work seeing ever-widening box office losses while simultaneously enjoying enormous-but-unpaid popularity via file-sharing. The Master has been available on Netflix streaming for months (at least in the US) and yet there are, um, over 9000 seeders for just the most popular torrent on oldpiratebay.org, closer to 35,000 if you add up all the active torrents for different formats, foreign language versions and so on, plus 35-40,000 leechers.

Regardless of how ones feels about it aesthetically, I think it's fair to say that the film is quite popular (measured against a random basket of 2012 films with better box office performance). But because it didn't do well in its initial release window, the longer-term popularity isn't reflected by its financial performance. Piracy is a real problem for films that depend on long-tail revenue, which is one reason you see so many franchise films and aesthetically conservative genre pics - they're an easier sell even though they don't necessarily age well.
Passing basic HR filters is necessary for most job listings, and "equivalent experience" is harder to quantify than having a degree in the field from a name brand university. Also it is hardly a selling point to claim that one took an online class and did not receive credit for it.
I wasn't playing a trick. There are times when using "literally" in the figurative sense actually makes sense, even though I don't approve. But this is not one. So I thought maybe the person actually meant it in the non-figurative sense.

If you want evidence that I'm an honest person, look at my comment history. I don't go around tricking people and trying to win arguments by deception. In fact, I frequently call people out for being nasty in various ways, much like you are doing here.

I can understand why you think I'm trying to trick people and I was worried that would happen. That's why I talked about historical and quasi-examples of people buying careers. I didn't want you to think or feel that I was playing a trick.
Is property tax waived for residents?
This is one of the coolest all-CSS3 things I've seen!
"users voluntarily chose their software" - or maybe not, which is what the antitrust proceedings were all about.
it was paced like this to make the nay-sayers claiming "there's no such thing, no bulk collection, just metadata, no proof otherwise" over the past few months lose their face.

which includes quite a few HN commenters, btw.
In the 2010 census, Chicago has 11 community areas above 20k/sqm, with 708k people in about 29 sqm (average density = 25k/sqm). Throw in West Town (18k/sqm) and the Loop (19k/sqm), and its 818k people in 35 sqm (average density = 23k/sqm). That's almost a San Francisco worth of dense neighborhoods both in population and area. And its not like SF is uniformly that dense. Parts remind me of the suburbs where my parents live in VA. Huge yards, etc.

I don't disagree that San Francisco is somewhat more dense as a whole, but I still contend that the density angle is overweighted. I think city planning plays a huge role, not just in limiting densities (given the geography of the city, density should be more like Manhattan, not like Chicago) and also making less dense areas harder to access. There are huge tracts of residential neighborhoods in Chicago with back yards and bungalows, but they're often pretty close to an 'El' station or a METRA station. That takes a lot of pressure off housing prices downtown. Meanwhile, tons of land on the Peninsula less than 10 miles from downtown have no practical public transit besides one BART line. The McSuburbs of DC have better rail access, and that's sad.
It would not have had to be the vietnam of computer science. There are essentially two approaches at interacting with RDBMS:

- "Top down", domain-model centric, hierarchical, object-oriented, etc.

- "Bottom up", relational-model centric, relational, etc.

We've also nicely summarised this on our page here: http://www.hibernate-alternative.com

ORMs solve the first approach pretty well. ORMs have never claimed to solve the second approach. But people are lazy and constantly looking for magic bullets, which is why they are trapped by thinking that ORMs should also be a solution to the second approach.

But even Gavin King always stressed the fact that one shouldn't use Hibernate for everything.
Decentralized systems see regulation as "damage" and route around it.
Anonymity is a special case of privacy. Privacy is the ability to control how much you reveal about yourself to others and the circumstances of how you reveal that information. Anonymity is simply the choice to reveal no information about your identity.
I don't know. Who would leave their bitcoins in an exchange that had been demonstrating withdrawal problems for 6 months?
It reminds me of the old Asimov story where the computer predicts crimes, and people get warned. (Then the computer plots to have itself killed) I'm spacing on the name of it.
which nobody will buy.
Rude service in a taxi in Japan would be somewhat shocking, but they're also comparatively more expensive than most other places. One time I couldn't find a hotel in Tokyo, so I took a taxi- it turned out to be just around the block, but it still cost like $6. But hey, the cars are nice and the white glove thing is always an interesting contrast to NYC.
How do you have a hard realtime system when the amount of work needed to be done in a period of time is not deterministic? How can you even prove the bounds of the amount of work?
A little overwrought...

"3d in a browser" sounds like a fairly broad use case. Three.js is fairly popular I hear.
Reckless driving in VA is a class 1 misdemeanor. Punishable by confinement in jail for not more than twelve months and a fine of not more than $2,500, either or both.[1]

That said, many things are a class 1 misdemeanor. Usually reckless driving is a fine similar to that of speeding. I've seen judges with stances like "1 day in jail for every mph over X" where X is usually 90,95, or 100. I think the most I've ever heard of was like 3-5 days for 100mph+, and even that was served on weekends.

Well, I heard of one guy who was given 3 months for 76 in a 55 by a very old substitute judge, much to the defendant's, Trooper's, and clerk's shock. The Trooper made it a point talk to the defendant and inform he could talk to the court clerk about the appeal process. The defendant appealed it down to a fine of around $150.

Greece having PR is a big reason why Syriza has been able to do so well -http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Greece
Like that woman who wanted to use the TSA's approved screening process for her pumped breast milk; who had a letter from the TSA explaining what that screening process was and that it was okay to screen breast milk using this process?

Because she didn't have much fun.

Then the process supervisor can then launch your processes. But then all init is doing is launching your process supervisor. We can just drop a step by providing the process supervisor executable to the kernel. There is no need for init anymore.
Right, so ads don't feel like much of the FB experience.

My point is that FB seems much, much more focused on creating an engaging user experience than it does on ads, so it seems wrong to say that their deep learning efforts have ads as their one main goal.
It's strange to say, but TV has gotten a lot better decade by decade. There was simply nothing remotely like "Breaking Bad" in the 60's or 70's. I recently watched an episode of "Charlies Angels" and was surprised at how insipid and simply awful it was, and it was a hit show in its days.

The proliferation of options for people to watch has forced an upgrade in the quality of the writing.
Ensemble (and also boosted) models: Very nice idea.

I like the takeaway that meta-SNE idea is powerful to compare the space of models by through the lens of pairwise distances as a proxy for the distance metric. Are distances the defining property for a vector space R^d? Could you have used some other quantity instead of pairwise distances?
I guess I'm not most people. When I'm walking down street I want

- map, with routes etc. proximity of my "friends"
- location direction distance to cops (like weekend downtown horse patrol's )
- ability to overlay datasets (crime, traffic, business ratings, etc)
- notice of interesting history/landmarks (basically wikipedia)
- notice/splice with local news (yesterday this happened here).
- notice/splice with events (in hour so and so will be signing books at store on your left), tonight x band is playing at bar on right.
- splice with my notes of place, when/how often here, money spent, stuff ordered, etc.

I want augmented memory and senses.

pie in the sky, I want it to face recognition and tell me the name and why I know guy (which I don't remember) who is talking at a me like he knows me.
I've sent you a mail but it bounced with a connection timeout. Any idea what might have gone wrong, or got another address?
Thanks! I'll give them a call sometime today.
It's been fun watching Brad learn to hack as he rolls out WC. Best of luck with the ads biz
Generally, if you set auto-rebuild, yes. It's RAID5 though, so you're only protected from single drive failures. I use RAID6 on Areca cards (or better) for "critical" data, or remote servers -- single drive failures all too often become double drive failures before the RAID finishes rebuilding.

The other issue is that write (and sometimes read) performance is hurt during rebuild. For timing-sensitive systems, people often turn off auto-rebuild or scale back rebuild percentage of writes, so their application's performance isn't so affected. Of course, if the second failure happens during the rebuild...
I used to read Jeremy Clarkson's article once a week. I can't any longer (without some kind of tinkering - which I'm not willing to do). I guess that's a few more pages they don't have to serve as I'm not going back.
You would need a large group of different skilled people to be able to do it successfully in a way that good points about the stories arise in the show, given the broad range of different kinds of topics that get submitted to HN.

But for that you already have the comments on HN, so it would have to add something more.

Maybe teaching something, or adding new comments from people that did not comment the story but are able to make some good points...

It would be nice if well thought...
I distinguish between the concepts easy and straight forward. I never ever ever say "that is easy" when talking to a non-technical person about feature xyz or a project; I always say "that is straight forward". I then proceed to lay out the fact that feature x is not technically complicated (a problem already solved) but it does require foot work.

For example, building websites (your standard eCommerce Sally-wants-to-sell-sweaters kind of website) is not innovating anything on a technical level; but there is footwork involved in building the website and integrating a shopping cart and designing/slicing.

That's where many customers and non-technical people go wrong in their understanding (it's mostly the programmer's fault for constantly saying "that's easy") they will assume that if it is "easy" it is going to be simple and quick. Whereas, if the programmer makes a concerted effort to distinguish what they mean; saying it is "straight forward" implies it is simple but will take time.
You cannot hire a good Chinese programmer for 15-20k, so no worries.
I'd really prefer a 40h work week over 9-5.
> I've written a lot of C in the subsequent 20 years or so. It has some particularly nasty traps. Acknowledging that does not make me anti-C.

depends on your cultural background I guess. Some people see literally everything that is not 100% risk-free as inherently bad.
Somehow many Americans still haven't gotten past the whole 'sex = icky' idea.

The perceived skeeviness of Flynt is also why you don't hear all that much about why he shot. Sure, people know that he was in a wheel chair because he got shot. But why? Because a white supremacist terrorist didn't like the fact Flynt's magazines showed interracial couples.

He advanced the cause of American Freedom of Speech. Like real Freedom of Speech. Not these fake I-got-kicked-off-social-media-so-1st-amendment freedom of speech arguments that are so popular these days. But actual freedom of speech.

He also got shot by a terrorist because Flynt had the audacity to show people of different skin color enjoying themselves.

Flynt deserves more than that headline.
> I've been seeing a growing anti-python sentiment lately, and most of it seems to be based on these sorts of odd perceived language defects.

I've seen the same, but to me it feels like the downslope of the hype-train that was brought on by the ML crowd. Early on there was python doing python things, and the (IMO overly smug) community was happy with that. Then the AI/ML hype train fired up and for historical #reasons python became the language of choice, and this introduced a LOT more people to the language, and it became their lingua franca.

Now, those people are having to write honest to god applications and are finding that python is Hard To Scale, both technically and code-management-y.

IMO. Reasonable people disagree.
Just chiming in here, but I would say the high mining hash rate makes it the most secure chain (secure like people can't go back in time and change the chain's history because it would be prohibitively expensive to do so).

Ultimately I think Ethereum's market cap will come close to challenging BTC's in the next 10 years and when that happens we will see a rapid transfer of capital from the BTC chain to the ETH chain.
> PeaZip has a very clean UI, and nice green icons, so it’s very obviously the better choice.

If you're "opening" an archive directly you're doing it wrong. The beauty of 7-Zip is the shell integration where you can just right click an archive and do "Extract to [folder name]" or right click a folder and do "Create archive...". I have not had a need for the UI that appears when you double click on an archive in any archive program in 20 years.
Throwaway account—I'm not GP and can't speak for them—but I'm in the same situation because I'm asexual/aromantic. I have no interest in getting married.

I would like to raise a child, but I also want what will be best for them, not me.
You don't need fast settlements for most payments (cheaper than a car). Bitcoin (BTC) transactions used to be irreversible (the proof-of-work needed to double-spend was too much for such amounts), until they ruined it by implementing return-by-fee (RBF). Fortunately Bitcoin Cash (BCH) keeps the original implementation, usually less than a second zero-conf transactions and no RBF.
There were many studies that have found the opposite of what you have found: https://escholarship.org/content/qt1k08m32k/qt1k08m32k.pdf
I found this very surprising so asked a Python-knowledgeable acquaintance who mentioned that this works as expected

>>> seq = [x for x in range(1,11)]
>>> list(filter(lambda x: x % 2 == 0, seq))
[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
>>> list(filter(lambda x: x % 2 == 1, seq))
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
Note to self: Google has the capacity to make something well known quickly.
Yes, it would have - I'm not arguing against that point, only speculating why this guy didn't hear back from Apple.
Sounds like marketing speak to me. "our product is convenient and easy to use unlike everything before." The technical people at wolfram have probably never seen this thing on the website ;p
My favorite is bigresource.com and others that are scraping forums ... fucking hate those sites so much, reported them but of course those emails go nowhere.
Yeah, I guess this is "information disclosed in connection with Apple Events" which makes it "Apple Confidential Information". Since you need a developer account to access it, it is not available to the public which would remove the Confidential part.
At what time is it at?
It seems that Wordpress and Drupal are growing closer and closer to each other. Drupal is still more powerful though, even-though it's more complex to get up and running with. From a developer point of view they can be equally as awkward to develop for.
Google exposed some sort of recency-based filtering UI with their latest update, although I'm not sure how it gets its results.
To work at Microsoft for the past few years and strongly evangelize it takes a certain kind of person. It means the person either is dishonest or looks at the company he works for with Rose Colored Goggles.

I don't know enough about him to comment on the former but I bet its a lot of the latter.
If you need a reason why DF shouldn't have comments (other than Gruber's preference), take a look at the comments in this post on Dive Into Mark back in 2006:

http://diveintomark.org/archives/2006/06/02/when-the-bough-b...

There is a lot of trash in there as a result of a link from a longer piece on DF.

EDIT: language clarification.
Great book, by the way.

"Emergents" -- as opposed to the "Qeng Ho" (sp?), who in contrast seemed more like a bunch of franchise owners* cooperating when they had common goals and/or to make some good trades? (and help a dispersed human civilization along here and there)

* "franchise owner" in the sense of owning and operating a store associated with a broader brand.
I'm talking about the PWM, and if you need to use PWM at 100% , for some it would be much too bright.There are some options to correct it(contrast, or apps like flux), but they usually really hurt color reproduction.And sometimes even them don't lower brightness enough.
My trick is to spot someone in the audience, preferably in the middle who is really interested and maintain eye contact with that person, it increases the level of comfort 10X and makes you feel less conscious about others in the room. Keep changing the "chosen one" every few minutes or so.
Gizmodo isn't really an impartial source, though... :-/
Seems to work for other similar queries. I tried the first that popped into my head: [kill myself]. Pretty good idea.
I didn't say it was--I said that you should ask for a supervisor to be present during your pat down to prevent sexual abuse. How you could have interpreted my comment otherwise is mystifying.
The Second gives you the space for more content on home page, the third looks the best.

If you can combine those two it would look awesome.

What platform are you using? Are you developing them yourself or using templates?
"Vertical integration shouldn't be considered a religious matter."

Somewhat irrelevant, as Apple has demonstrated fairly convincingly that they do consider it such.
