Good question! Here's some information from aviation.stackexchange: http://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/9975/do-addition...

Checked luggage is weighed when you drop it off, so presumably the exact weights are available to the pilots. For passengers themselves and their carry-on baggage, accurate weights aren't available so statistical averages are used, based on the number of passengers and their baggage allowances.

Airliners do have "squat sensors" in the landing gear, but they're not capable of accurately measuring the aircraft's weight. They're just binary-valued sensors that check whether the gear struts are under stress, to prevent the gear from accidentally being raised while the plane is on the ground.
> families who make less than $125,000 pay nothing

Nope. Those families pay no tuition, but still may pay living expenses. The 'pay nothing' tier starts at $65,000
I live in downtown Orlando, FL.

We have a perfect (pathetic) example of this phenomenon.

Most of the older buildings in the downtown core rest along brickpave streets that are awful to drive on. Horrible for the suspension, tires, the works. I believe the insistence on keeping them is an attempt to limit through traffic from a nearby East/West interchange with the notorious Interstate-4 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_4#Orlando_area).

Through traffic is still a huge issue, and in addition, the poor brickpave road is constantly riddled with pot holes from the heavy trucks and sheer number of vehicles that detour through. I can't imagine what the maintenance must cost relative to regular asphalt.

What a petty man.
It's something I've heard many times, and something that I agree with.

You want to build a business, not a feature. Unless you can come up with more features, it's difficult to grow the business.

Then of course there is the risk that your feature will come standard in the next version of "popular software product." If your audience is niche, then you are likely safe, but if your feature appeals to all users of the product, it's inevitable that it will eventually be included in a future version of the product. You end up doing the R&D for free.
They make no mention of how they make any money. Any ideas on the business model that is paying for all this bandwidth etc?

A few notes:

"IE bugs are hard to debug":
Well, this particular one was hard to debug. People work around all sorts of other problems in IE without needing to contact Microsoft.

"It took 20+ days, and numerous attempts to get help from Microsoft":
It was 10 days, and most of that was my fault. I was new to Microsoft at that point, and still learning how to get bugs filed.

"It takes 'a lot of help' for an insider to figure out how to report an issue and identify the people to report it to": When that insider is new, yes :(
#1 is a great idea. We took a lot of time to build out our API. A product that helps my company be more efficient is a company that I would most definitely try!

Good luck, keep me updated with your progress
the eye actually has an angular resolution of 50 cycles per degree.

My calculations:

degrees in one inch - arcsin(1/12) = 4.78

Pixels in eye for one inch, 12" away - 4.78 * 50 = 240

Same calculations for 10" arcsin(1/10)*5 = 287

I think something is wrong with the numbers in the article
Casting out elevens is a related check, and only slightly harder; you add and subtract alternate digits, starting from the end. So 380258203 is congruent to 3-0+2-8+5-2+0-8+3 mod 11, i.e. -5, which is (congruent to) 6 mod 11. The advantage it has over casting out nines is that it catches all digit transpositions and most inadvertent shifts. 12345 × 67890 is, mod 11, 3 × 9 = 27, which is 5 mod 11. 838102050 is also 5 mod 11, but none of the eight numbers you can obtain by transposing two adjacent digits in it are 5 mod 11, while they are all congruent to 838102050 (0) mod 9. Similarly, if you shifted one of the partial products over by one place by accident while adding up the final product, your result would fail the casting-out-elevens check unless that partial product was 0 mod 11.
Glad we have our priorities straight about behavior and what is and isn't right.
They do such things occasionally when they can extract good domestic PR out of it.
EDIT: Somehow I missed that they did do some of these things, but still, they shouldn't have mentioned the site.

There are plenty of things that could be done that don't require the removing the CDA. If websites are liable for user-generated content, then liability will ensure that we cannot have user-generated content at all. Google, for example, has a specific process for you to remove this sort of thing:

Focusing on gaming in my response here...

I think the next "Big Thing" is that we are going to start moving more and more toward Augmented Reality (AR) [1] and Virtual Reality (VR) [2].

Thoughts:

1. Look for gaming to start heading in the direction of VR with technology like Oculus Rift [3]. Also, with someone of the caliber of John Carmack [4] involved, with not only his passion and skill, but his ability to work with graphics hardware manufacturers and driver developers to effect change and garner the necessary support and backing, expect to see vibrant, compelling developments in this field.

Here is a video of John discussing some of his VR work. It is from E3 2012:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYa8kirsUfg

2. Look to see more games like Ingress [5] as things start to move toward AR.

3. I realize that this may be an extreme, perhaps well-into-the-future example, but check out this short film entitled, Sight. It is not difficult to imagine that this is where we are heading with technology like Google Glass (e.g., Note in the film the gamification of things like cooking and dating. Personally, the dating part is scary.)

While this is true, it presumes an accurate whip count and we've seen recent examples of the republicans getting it wrong and failing to pass their own bills when they thought it was a lock. They don't always know if something will pass or fail, but they usually do.

Well it wasn't a parody.

From what I heard relationships with foreign governments were damaged by the fact that foreign governments found out that friendly diplomacy called them chumps behind their backs. When the truth about this talk and how american diplomats understand words "friend" or "ally" leaked out it did hurt. As I said, if revealing what you really think about others hurts you, that's not a good sign. It's a sign that you might be kind of an asshole.
I think your estimate of interviews as a "medium stress situation" is somewhat simplified and personal. Interviews push you into completely unfamiliar territory, in which you're simultaneously trying to solve context-free problems, defend your answers, and gauge the personality and preferences of your interviewer (an answer that works for one won't always work for another).

A client meeting, code review, or dispute with a manager can be stressful, but you can answer from a position of strength. You know your code, have reasons for your decisions, and have met some standard to get the job. Interviews may be less demanding, but for some people it's a huge problem that there's no solid place to stand.

> But the problem with static ssh keys is that if they are stolen, it’s undetectable.

It's like, super detectable. You have endpoint logs for the file access, you have network logs, you have sshd logs (which contain the public key and the IP), etc.

> if you have your ssh private key on several machines, you have to remember to copy it to all those places

Your ssh key should never leave a host. That should be a policy and you should write rules to detect when that policy is being violated (check for processes accessing the file).

If you need access from N computers you should be generating N keys.

The reason rotation isn't recommended is because it leads to bad practices (people just add a '1' to their password), it's a hassle, and it can never be fast enough to meaningfully impact an attacker - once they have SSH keys it's likely they can gain persistence and C2 before your rotation takes place. Not because people reuse their passwords in multiple places.

Setting up a CA for SSH is definitely a really good practice but I think that most companies would find it far simpler to just enforce 2FA for SSH access. Still, I'd really like to see an article about how you set that up, especially if it targets smaller enterprise customers.

For others who might be interested, here's bless from Netflix:

https://github.com/Netflix/bless

edit: Oh, and just to be clear, 2FA for your SSH is not a silver bullet - even a yubikey. But it's a cheap, scalable, near-zero overhead way to protect against an attacker who's got access to your key (but not one who has access to your system, assuming an active session!).
> or Bluetooth (which works maybe 97% of the time

Best description of Bluetooth I've ever read.
Couple of things. Except for Waymo in Phoenix, there is no finished working automated vehicle. Most of the videos out there are of tests or of Tesla FSD Beta which originally was actually pretty dangerous.

So if people are going by those videos then maybe they should be scared.

Also, what percentage of AAA members are under 50?
What it says on the tin: BERT attention per token gets converted to CSS styling to grab the user's attention. The idea came from thinking about content consumption as perceiving large bodies of information, rather than searching for a specific document. In this framing, attention becomes a building block of a "perceptual engine," which itself has a few nice-to-haves: abstraction, top-down influences, interactivity. More details in the write-up/demo, I'll stick around to answer questions.
There are still (long-standing) issues, which may prevent some businesses from using Chrom{e,ium}.

And aside from 3 people I don't remember the last time I got an email from a friend. FB Messaging / wall posts own that space completely.

Obviously sms still has it's place (ie- want a response in the next 10 minutes rather than the next 24 hours) and nothing can replace in-person communication -- but FB is doing a damn good job of replacing my electronic communication.
>For now the seized domains are in legal limbo. David Snead, a lawyer specializing in Internet cases who is representing the owner of torrent-finder.com, speculated that it might be 30 to 60 days before he would be able to see a seizure order. “The government is providing zero information to help us determine what he is being charged with,” he said. “It’s a black hole.”

That's just plain wrong. Under what rational reason have they seized these without notice, and without declaration of wrongdoing? Is it part of a sting operation, or are they being labeled as terrorists?

If not, it's simply impeding justice, and seems to me to probably be motivated by the desire to have this go through smoothly; if they can wait out the initial surge of internet-interest, and then make weak claims, there won't be as many people scrutinizing them. Plus, this sort of event might just drive a few of the sites out of existence anyway, so their goals are served regardless, just by keeping their mouths shut.
Just a reminder: this isn't a crazy overreach by "Homeland Security". DHS is a very new cabinet department formed, like a beaurocratic Voltron, from a smorgasbord of peripherally-related agencies. One of those agencies was Customs/ICE, which for logical and historical reasons hosts federal anti-counterfeiting enforcement. DHS "acquires" Customs and bam, finds itself in the IP enforcement business.

They didn't say HTML5 is "mobile-only". They implied that including media, storage and extended graphics capabilities in the standard supports a better mobile experience.

Sites and applications can target these capabilities without having to rely on plug-ins, and browser developers can optimize for mobile performance.
There's an assumption that people who invest $200 million have information you don't have or that they're smarter than you are. I worked for eToys and watched the company simply run out of money after raising $250 million. I worked for Jobster and watched the company become walking dead after raising $55 million.

The Madoff investors are also a prime example of what economists call "asymmetric information" at work.

There is an odd inverse correlation where the larger the deal, the less insider info the investors have.

Today Twitter burns cash at a furious rate, has only 25 million uniques on their website, has a product riddled with bugs, has a terrible uptime record and after years of trying to scale, continue to have terrible uptime and app performance.

But most important of all: Twitter do not yet have a business model, and the experiments they're doing, like the groupon twitter clone, demonstrate that they are flailing around in the dark.

It's quite possible that Twitter may go the way of eToys.com and other big busts: After raising a spectacular amount of money they will simply run out of cash and have their assets bought for a pittance.

So lets explore this scenario briefly: If twitter does simply implode, it will be catastrophic for our industry because the press will brand it as a wider systemic problem and will most likely describe it as the "second dot-com bubble bursting". The mainstream press have been particularly kind to Twitter, so expect them to be just as unkind if it dies. VC and angel money will dry up for a time and the correction that guys like Fred Wilson have been predicting (see his recent comments re an angel investment bubble) will come to pass.

Lets hope Twitter becomes profitable and sustainable or we will all be hurt badly by the shrapnel.

A monad is like a tiger in a cage. You don't want it running around mauling all your code, so you transport it in cage. If someone needs your tiger for something they need to have the key to his cage. Also it is polite to put the tiger back in the cage if anyone else needs him.
IMO, that's not the problem they are solving. They are usually 'the professional' database of movies, people and such. Streaming movies is not what they set out to do. Documenting about them is what they aim at. But they surely are an influence on some people's choices.

It's sort of asking - Why 'The New York Times' doesn't sell books. It does affect the choice but they don't set out to sell books. That is, sort of, what gives them authority. I might not trust the list as much if they were setting out to sell more and earn more.

I switched to Rubinius earlier this year for day-to-day development. Good project and deserves to be supported. One issue for me however that is also the case for JRuby is that much more memory is usually used than with Ruby 1.9.2. If you need several Ruby processes running on a low end server to support a web app then memory footprint size is important.

All that said, I love the idea of Rubinius and it is an important project.
While i didn't panic, i find myself having quite a negative reaction to a language in which "Identifiers can have blanks" is listed under main features.

EDIT : Also, i see quite the opportunity from wrong parsing, not on the machine side, but on the human side. blanks already have a function in other programming languages : They are here to separate symbols. By giving them this double meaning, you actually bring context in the parsing of any piece of code, which i think could be a pretty painful exercise.

Other version : Don't design a language version because it makes code easier to type, if it doesn't also make it easier to read

(I know the author thinks it easier to read, but i'm not yet convinced about that)

Even if you assume the NSA was lying to the FISC, what does the solution look like? A program much like the existing one, with a stronger external check on ensuring domestic communications aren't collected? You appoint a Special Counsel in the DOJ to prosecute perjury by NSA analysts? You think that'll make Hacker News happy?

The technology crowd objects to electronic surveillance conceptually. I think a large portion don't even like the idea that Google and Facebook could be forced to hand over data pursuant to a real warrant or subpoena, and that's so well established I couldn't tell you what century it was when that power didn't exist.

I will not hire someone without seeing them code something... period. There are too many tricksters out there. I ask them to solve Fizzbuzz using any language they want, any editor, any question, any google search (including just looking up the problem and copying and pasting), and any amount of time. They get to do it on their own at a private workstation. Still 90% fail even after completely fleecing me in the "technical conversation" portion of the interview.
This is something I've been thinking all along, but it's probably a little bit more than just "status affirmation". It is also about enriching life experience, where you sort of value things that happen less frequently more.

Weirdly enough, as Gentzen showed, you can use a theory that is "sideways" to first-order logic, neither strictly more powerful nor weaker nor equivalent in power, to demonstrate the consistency of first-order logic. Strong normalization theorems are used for typed lambda calculi like the Calculus of Inductive Constructions to show consistency, as well.

>In the specific case of Comcast and Time Warner, it is difficult to predict exactly how much additional leverage this will create, but as it turns out, these two ISPs are already in markets where they are not competing with one another, so this specific merger is unlikely to dramatically change the current situation.

This does not follow. A larger ISP with more market share, regardless of the state of the competition, can extract larger peering agreements. So this merge would absolutely make the current situation for Netflix worse and other peering agreements more expensive.
