Movie Recommendation with MLlib
The problem is that regular fuels are still absurdly cheap. Considering their environmental impact - too cheap. Running coal power plants still produces cheaper electricity than a nuclear power plant or solar or wind, because coal is so absurdly cheap. As soon as that changes, and coal becomes scarce enough to make the price go up, other technologies will take off very rapidly. Fusion is really difficult because it's costing a tonne of money and no one has actually proven that it would actually pay for itself or in fact produce a surplus of power.
Ouch. That's about 8x the size I'd consider acceptable.
Gears of War is not a first-person shooter, though.
Actually white balls probably would be better. What you normally reach with specular reflection is around 80% reflectivity. With diffuse reflection (white colour) you can get into the 99.x% range much more easily.

> While the glymphatic pathways testing has so far only been conducted on rodents

Oh come on. Medical studies I can understand animal testing having some relevance, but this study on rodents and applying the results to humans without a massive disclaimer? That's a step too far.
I snore and have suspected occasionally i have apnea also, due to other signs. So you're probably right.
Google's Nest: Big Data and the Internet of Things in the Connected Home
Just over one year ago, I became fascinated by the idea of one-clic deploy Q&A for product makers. Part of it because building our main product was hard and complicated enough that when it came to addressing users questions i wished i had a magic button. A button that i can push and get a beautiful space for users questions, just the same way we get a blog on Blogger.

Today I'm excited to share it and we'd love to take it further. I'll be thrilled to hear your thoughts, feedback and questions.
35 years of US tech funding
Earth Abides should be on this list.
Then we would have United Earth Federation followed by United Galaxy Federation :)

I guess a healthy amount of options are good, since everyone have their own preferences. Each framework might seems to be solving the same problem, but each have their own philosophy and unique approach. Without diversity, we won't have rice, sushi and burgers.

I know it's pain in the ass to evaluate a framework or language, thus I build StackBus (http://www.stackbus.com/), a place where people share what stack they use, why they use it and to build what kind of product, providing more useful insights when making choices.
Realise Minas Tirith
Reminds me of the old days of KA9Q and pushing IP over packet radio. Tech has come such a long way this might actually be a real alternative. That said bandwidth management will become a real issue quickly since it's hard for the general public to understand the shared nature of a mesh.
It's usually the opposite - the reasonable ones that were fighting this insanity are the first to go and the ones fully on board with whichever stupid idea from management will get their role strengthened...
Some skill sets are only applicable at massive scale. So it's get hired by the company, or they hire you as a consultant for the project.

Sadly, not everything rolls neatly into a startup.
"CUDA is usually faster."

I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out not to be accidental. I mean, it wouldn't work against NVidia for OpenCL to continue to be seen as the "slower option". So I'm sure their efforts to improve their OpenCL implementation aren't considered as important from a business point of view.
> As far as I understand, it's a problem of funding and bureaucracy problems rather than technology.

No, it's very much a problem of technology. One of the challenges of most fusion approaches is that we don't have materials that survive the heavy neutron bombardment from the fusion process for very long. You don't simply solve this through more funding (although it helps).

Another problem is that we still haven't managed to build a fusion device that delivers even close to break-even energy return, not even under laboratory conditions for very short timespans.

> cheap

That is doubtful. Fusion reactors with the ITER concept are extremely large and complex devices.

Note that I'm not against fusion in general. In fact, I think we should fund research in alternative fusion technologies a lot more than we do now.

How to convert any 3D printer or CNC router into cutting or engraving machine?
Introducing Endurance L-CHEAPO diode laser

Endurance L-CHEAPO is a 445 nanometer diode laser which easily mounts on your 3D printer or CNC mill
No additional power supply is necessary, and it will not interfere with normal use of your hardware
You can readily switch from laser to print/mill mode, use your existing software (Slic3r, Skeinforge, etc), and with no tools the laser can be removed in about 2 minutes
Endurance L-CHEAPO can cut paper and wood up to 3/16ths of an inch, and can engrave most non-metallic materials

Easy to Use and Open Source

No special software or hardware required – not even a power supply! All you need is to mount the laser, create a special extrusion profile on your standard software and get to work. Video in action available here: http://endurancerobots.com/products/laser-cutters-accessory/video-in-action/
Engraving samples: http://endurancerobots.com/products/laser-cutters-accessory/laser-cutter-accessory-engraving-samples/

Low-cost, High-yield

Laser cutting requires a significant initial investment, but opens up a lot of making possibilities — laser-cut parts are tougher than 3D printer parts. With Endurance L-CHEAPO, the initial dollar investment goes from thousands to hundreds, and the module requires very little space.

We hope this product will allow high school shop classes, small universities and local hackerspaces to be able to work with a wider variety of materials and techniques without breaking the bank.

JUnit Lambda: The Future of Testing on the JVM Gets Crowdfunded
Ferrofluids are fundamentally unstable. They're colloidal suspensions that rely on surfactants to keep the particles apart, and as the surfactants degrade, the particles start clumping together and falling out of suspension.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrofluid#Description

As a practical demonstration of this, there's an ancient ferrofluid exhibit (80's?) at a local science museum. While the fluid itself kinda-sorta "works" in that you get the pretty spiky shapes when zapped with an electromagnet, the edges and bottom of the glass case are thickly coated in viscous black gunk.
I didn't realise that. Ultimately makes no difference though. They've proven they can't be trusted to produce computers which are safe to use.
Even if you could make that happen, it would only result everyone having to choose between (N+1) frameworks.

( https://xkcd.com/927/ )
> Why didn't all JS Framework creators combine into one team to create only one true JS Framework ?

Because devs will never agree on what should be the only one true JS Framework. Like programmers will never agree on what the one true language should look like. Just take JS itself, some devs think it's the "best language ever", others despise it.

Obviously things like unidirectional data flow is getting traction in every big framework. Yet some people think it's "magics" since the DOM doesn't work that way. Who got it wrong? all these fancy framework creators or people that wrote the DOM ? well the point is both were created for different needs , thus the reason why there will never be one true framework. Because developers have different needs and project requirements.

For me the current industrialization launched extinction event [1] is giving me the creeps.

The last time it happened anything larger than a cat did not do so well. Yeah, we humans are an exception and soon we will grow meat in labs and vegetables in city gardens, so we might fare better than that.

The difference with this and historical predicted catastrophes that did not happen, is that it's actually happening right now. As an example the malthusian catastrophe that never happened was that Malthus was predicting future values of population versus food production (thus giving yet another failed apocalyptic prediction) whereas the extinction is actually happening, right now.

This seems awful lot like book burning to me.

As a child, I was most inspired not by books that were dull, factually recent and accurate, but by books that were beautifully told with explaining illustrations - even though they explained space probes 2 generations old. So what. They still felt awesome and ingenious to me, while the underlying machinery was simple enough to be explained to 8-12 year old.

I am really sad that the author would burn the second one and keep the first one.

Oh, and guess what - even that shiny up-to-date book is now 20 years out of date, but I still love science :)

Thanks. Any idea about this?

> ...if my application creates a fork(), will the container be unable to handle scheduling of the additional process?
I'm not sure I agree with that last bit. The rewards for backers are there for a reason. When it comes to software projects -- especially games, you can frequently have access to test and beta versions and get the final product (depending on your backing level, this may be at a price lower or higher than the retail price). Additionally, it usually means you get to follow along in the development process, maybe even provide input or feedback. Another common reward is being made into a character in the game or providing another piece of content.

It may not sound like much, but it is a benefit. I for one got a real kick out of seeing my name in Broken Age's credit roll.

I've backed quite a few Kickstarter projects and so far, none that were successfully funded have failed. Some still might and that would be disappointing, but I wouldn't regret backing them in the least. I have "bought" the fun of being a small part of something and watching things develop.
Yeah most Europeans think if they come to the US they will be carjacked.
It sure seems like there are alot of drone imagery marketplaces coming up. Exactly how much business is there for all of them to survive? I think this pricing model will be the nail in the coffin for Dronebase, though. You can't set pricing as the exchange. You've got to make a commission off whatever the buyer and seller agree is "the price".

Unpaid UN intern who slept in tent quits after media uproar
Ferrofluids are magnetic nanoparticles, usually iron oxide, with small molecules called surfactants stuck to their surface. These stop the nanoparticles aggregating. Eventually the surfactants themselves will come off, causing aggregation. Lumps of iron oxide precipitate out of the liquid and sink to the bottom. No doubt better surfactants will be developed that take a very long time to degrade.
Thanks for mentioning me, by the way. Oh, and I don't need a job--it's against my ego to ever work for someone else for money (though, I'll definitely help you, if you need it).

Droners.io is currently a one man shop. I'm hoping I can continue to run it lean, and offer a great service without taking too much money from the people working for it (the pilots). The current fee is 10%, and that is capped at $1,000 max per job. I've seen other sites take a flat 20%, no cap.

I think the more generalized point that was being made was for any framework, front-end, back-end, middleware, CMS, whatever..

Properly handling deprecations and providing a clear and reasonable migration path for your users will keep them happy and will keep them upgrading instead of either sticking to old versions or jumping ship.

These are not concerns that apply only to front-end frameworks.
I have always wondered whether it would be possible to remove alternator from ICE cars and substitute it with a chargeable battery.
Ask HN: Advantages of ClojureScript and OM vs. ES6/7 and React?
I have limited time for a side project, I decided I'll do it in React.
Not sure if should be learning the new ES6/7 features or spend that time learning ClojureScript, I don't have previous knowledge of Clojure nor Lisp.
I'm concern about advantages / disadvantages, and the learning curve.
Thanks.
In 1999? Depending on what you're doing, ~100k of scripts is completely acceptable. If you just want some fancy UI interactions on a landing page, it is overkill though.
Acceptable for what? Genuinely curious about what you benchmark it against, and where you draw the line and why.

110k is smaller than a lot of images.

Can someone explain why oracle is doing this? This is not good for their brand name, this is not good for Java. A large number of people use Java because of android app development, what is oracle trying to gain out of all this?
As an outsider both look too similar to make a judgement. Both have the same information and just the color and fonts are different. I couldn't decide which is better. I wouldn't use a domain containing the word 'crack' though.

The title should be "American Books that shaped America". The Capital not being included in that list is akin to the Catholic church leaving the Luteran bible outside a list of influential works.
That wasn't the point of the article, and you can get more than a 10% return. Sitting in the public markets doing what everyone else does wont' get you there. I've been down voted because of everyone's limited thoughts in what it takes to achieve this. Why do I know this? Because I'm in a very similar position as the author.
Money, market exclusivity. Oracle is a big, dumb, litigious beast that pursues IP and money at the exclusion of everything else. See the Solaris/OpenSolaris/Illumous situation, and anyone who has ever worked somewhere with big Oracle databases.
I think that is akin to an engineer suggesting that to solve a problem you need to buy 10k servers and put oracle on them. It might be just what you need, but it seems a little naive. Like technology we treat the environment as a seperate cost centre that is outside the normal buisness. But interacting with the environment is so critical that this approach is just horrbily flawed.

People need to understand the envirionment and how it interacts with people. This understanding needs to be a part of political and buisness decisions. We need to stop being passive consumers of the environment and learn the subtleties of engineering it. Fusion may help but it is wildly more complicated than that.
I think both meanings are implied and definitely both percieved. The first have "every framework should take note" is more general, and I would mostly agree. The ember team has seemed to manage their project very well. Though I don't like the style of Ember itself, personally. There are often times with projects though where breaking changes are necessary for evolution of the software. I'm not sure if there were any major trade-offs with Ember. That may be because of good planning, but good planning like anything else takes resources, and often that resource is time.

The "that's how you avoid creating another framework and fragmenting community" comment is pretty clearly about the angular mess last year, and rightly so. I have a love-hate relationship with Angular. It's been a complicated journey and at times handled poorly. They seem to be on a better track now.

Regardless, I don't think there was any malintent in nercury's post. They are all good lessons learned.
Microteams for Microservices
Yes, what struck me was that a book that is inaccurate due to subsequent increases in knowledge of the solar system is not necessarily wrong for the date of publication. A book - which is mentioned - that gives current [to the date of publication] theories is particularly interesting because this sort of information often seems to get lost and only the winning theory gets well recorded.

These sorts of books seem like a great educational opportunity helping kids to realise that not everything is known and what we think we know can be challenged and found wanting. It also quite clearly illustrates the problems of source materials in history.

So, it's right that information that is factually wrong gets separated but the approach as presented in the article seems narrow-minded.

One can't help but reflect on what will happen to the books she vetoes, they may well get passed on to third-world countries; I'm pretty sure that happens with "discarded from stock" books in the UK.
I guess that's their way to monetize Java.
Miss Rand's ethics and politics are far more widely influential than in 1957, both among intellectuals and the general public. Entrepreneurialism, startup culture, modern self-esteem, and individualism have prospered along with the cultural changes Rand was a part of far beyond what seemed possible when that book was written.

And the Western nations are nowhere near socialism. In the 1950s tax rates topped out around 90%, banks had a stranglehold on capital guaranteed by state run cartels, and you needed a license from a state mandated monopoly to even connect to a telecom network which they would grant rarely at their pleasure if they liked what you might do with it. You couldn't carry money through most countries in person or via a bank and trade often required renting a politician to get permission.

People forget how good they have it today.
