You could become a millionaire this way but why? You have a pile of money and then you still end up dead.

When you live frugally, you're constrained. There's a max to how much you can save. Furthermore, while you're saving, life passes you by. Opportunity costs.

Who wants to go on a dream vacation when they're in their 60's just to have their hips hurt and their spouse in similar shape? How can we have the dream vacation now and have a pile of savings?

It's better to leverage the upside; figure out how do I significantly increase your income right now. Not increase your income on a probably acquisition 2,3,4 years from now, but increase your income right now.
Even with the asset stores, have UE or Unity reached the point of being a "one stop shop"? It still seems like an art tool like Blender or Maya is also a required link in the toolchain for anything but the smallest of projects.
Yes good point, there would have been more advantage in knowing it back then. It still makes little sense as an article and the idea that there is low tolerance of financial crime in the UK is laughable.
That's not nearly as contradictory as it seems at first. Mike didn't say running OpenBSD on vmm would be more secure than running on hardware. Without commenting directly on the security of vmm, it can be simultaneously less secure and still useful.
On the other hand, page sizes have gone up so much since the 1990's that the subjective experience isn't necessarily hugely different, despite the enormous absolute speed increase. (On the other hand, I've—mercifully—forgotten what those days felt like, and have never used Gogo, so I can't really compare.)
I also noticed this, and it seems like a pretty big flaw. It analyzed one of my emails as very confident because it saw the words "clear" and "sure", but in context, they were used in the phrases "None of this is clear to me" and "I am not totally sure"

> None of this means that a caloric deficit and increased activity won't cause all individuals to lose weight, just that the absolute value will differ between individuals.

Do you accept that the caloric value may vary in one person due to changes in gut flora? Or changes in metabolism?
Yes, that's exactly what I meant by lack of resistance - by not having to tab around.
Well put.

Just to backstop that a bit more, Dawn's instruments include a visible/IR spectrometer and a gamma-ray sensor (http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/technology/science_payload.asp) which will give us a spatially-resolved map of the surface and near subsurface chemical composition of Ceres.

The resolution of these maps will increase as the orbiter is able to descend to lower altitudes (~375km from its current ~1400km; in late July it was still at 2400km). Performing the descent properly requires knowing about Ceres' gravity field, the modeling for which is happening now, as we learn more about the gravity field. Navigation for this mission was very challenging. Landing would require even more detailed gravity information, as well as chemical information for site selection.

But don't think landers and rovers are not being considered. It's all about ranking in the Decadal Survey, conducted regularly for all planetary missions by the National Academy of Science (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_Science_Decadal_Surv...). As you can see by visiting the link, there is a lot of competition.

A brief piece surveying Ceres research submitted to the last decadal survey (http://www.lpi.usra.edu/decadal/sbag/topical_wp/AndrewSRivki...) contains this:

"A landed mission is an obvious subsequent step for the study of Ceres. Such a mission, whether a Phoenix-type lander or a MER-type rover, will provide a critical link between the remote sensing available from the ground and from Dawn and geochemical studies performed in earthbound laboratories. [...] The specific case for such an advanced mission will probably have to wait until the return of Dawn data, but Dawn’s Ceres phase occurs early in the time period considered here, and it is not too early to prepare for such an mission so that we may expeditiously take advantage of Dawn’s findings."

In other words: what Animats said, but longer. ;-)

This might be more common than you think. I worked at a company a few years ago with ~50 sizes of each image. When we wanted to launch a new page layout (or iOS app, or what have you), it literally required several weeks to render the millions and millions of images to that new size.

And of course things didn't work 100%, since some of the originals had mysteriously disappeared or rotted away. Not to mention the on-going storage costs of these 51 copies of each image, the vast majority of which were never requested even a single time.

Another approach at a different company was to have thousands of EC2 instances running 24/7 to resize images as users uploaded them and another few thousand to handle the backlog that the first group couldn't get to within their time budget. It got the job done, but it was pretty expensive and time consuming to babysit.
Since you've tried some similar services, are there any that are not quite as smooth, but cheaper? I actually am on Hacker News today because I was googling imgix competitors, and it took me to an older article, then I thought I'd check out the front page to see what's new today, and this was there. I love everything I see about imgix except the 8cents/GB bandwidth, which might be fine for certain sites, but not mine.
AmtrakConnect can be very slow at times, but is often reasonable. At least, I had no trouble with casual browsing during a recent trip, as long as I was willing just not to use it during the most congested times.
I work in life sciences. I see Ruby used (a lot) for web development and not much else. Lots of Python, R, Perl, and Java as well as native binaries usually written in C and C++.

I see ruby occasionally in system administration and DevOps tooling but apart from puppet and homebrew there's nothing I would recommend to anyone who isn't already interested in going all-in on ruby development.
My initial impression is it doesn't seem analyze groups of words very well. It will pick emotional words out of the middle of a sentence and apply the emotion to the whole text, when the context of the sentence changes the meaning of the word.

At Burning Man the Tech Elite One Up Each Other
You're conflating two different ideas. The idea that metabolic rate can't change for an individual (which it obviously can as it's based on that persons body mass, lean mass, age, etc [all of which can change] along with genetics) with the concept that there is a magical starvation mode wherein further reductions in calories won't produce any loss in weight (which is obviously false as people starve to death worldwide all the time).
Does Slate really count as 'blogspam', especially when the very first line credits the original appearance? (Of course, that qualitative judgement aside, I agree that it is better to link to the original.)
One thing we'll do before coming out of beta is make sure we can scale seamlessly to these impromptu HN load tests. :) Sorry it's a bit slow right now! You can, of course, install your own and have all the resources to yourself:

https://sandstorm.io/install/

Edit: Things seem a bit better now. This is our first time getting a load spike on Blackrock (codename for the "enterprise" add-on to Sandstorm which can utilize a whole cluster, which we use to run Oasis); previously, it was always the single-machine demo.

The problem is, ironically, we haven't parallelized our front-end yet. We are seamlessly distributing the apps themselves across way more machines than we actually need, but everyone is connecting to the same instance of the surrounding management UI. Honestly I didn't prioritize this because I thought our reinvented-wheel back-end was going to be the bigger bottleneck -- whoops.

Luckily this shouldn't be too hard to fix as the front-end is mostly stateless. Probably fixed in a week or two.

Nice to know what to focus on, in any case! Thanks for testing!
Cool! I think it is missing more language options, though.
Looks like it's doing emotional classification. Seems more geared towards a single word approach versus strong contextual classification.

The synonyms for acknowledge on their example are not very good.

I'm not sure if you were suggesting Ceres as an alternative to Mars, but there's plenty of water on Mars.

I guess the nice part about Ceres is the low gravity. A settlement there would be able to easily use its resources for further space exploration or whatever. And people could get home more easily.

> it seems we agree that the source of the calories does in fact make a difference.

we don't. if your body is capable of getting 3500cals from sand and your maintenance intake is 3500 cals then you will stay the same weight.

> I've never understood why it should be at all controversial to consider that different individuals could have substantial variance in their ability to absorb calories from different sources.

It's irrelevant. If you absorb 3 calories from carbohydrates and I absorb the standard 4 calories, the absolute value of the calories I get from food might be slightly off, but it's reproducible and doesn't change any of the core concepts related to losing/gaining weight.

If you mean that you absorb calories different from apples than from oranges, then I've never seen any data even remotely supporting that conclusion.
Congratulations! I couldn't be more excited about this.

The personal computer revolution won't be complete until users have personal servers. Desktops, laptops, smartphones -- none of them compare in importance to controlling your own server.

Sandstorm is a great step in that direction. There's something very beautiful in how it "rolls with the blow" of how awful the web is. While Mozilla (sorry to pick on you guys) is just trying to force more JS everywhere, Sandstorm makes one small product and wildly improves what a web app means.

What, like most demanding/nicest looking? Or most entertaining and fun? I believe the DX12 "Elemental" demo works with the Oculus dev units. I haven't gotten around to testing it but this thread has reminded me to give it a run after work.

As far as most entertaining, that'll probably depend on what you're looking for and what your platform is. I've only got a Rift DK2 so I don't know about GearVR or Cardboard or Vive, etc.

Microscopic Analysis of the 1989 Fleer Ripken “Mystery” Card (2012)
I'm very curious how you're coming up with your Uglify performance claims on this thread for a near 4MLOC JS codebase. I just tried Uglify on 6mb of ClojureScript generated JavaScript (it's nowhere near 4MLOC) and it takes nearly ~34 seconds on 3.5ghz iMac. That's 3 times slower then your 10 second claim for your own code base which sounds orders of magnitude larger!

3-4X slower than Uglify I could believe, but saying Closure is 60X slower and claiming compression performance I cannot even reproduce with a code base that's 40-50X smaller. What???
Somehow back when Amazon had to reboot every EC2 server to fix a Xen bug, my "insecure" hypervisor-less server didn't require such action. I think I'll prefer to keep sailing without that particular bulkhead.
Every functional-analysis teacher who introduces the \ell^1 norm mentions that the resulting geometry is called taxi-cab geometry, and may even draw a picture or two, or tell a fanciful story, to explain it; but it had never occurred to me to try drawing the analogues of conic sections before. This is a very nice way of both illustrating the (geo)metric (as opposed to algebro-geometric, i.e., via equations) definitions of those sections, and to show that they can give unfamiliar answers when the underlying metric changes.

(I could have done without constantly being told the many ways that I was arguing with the author, but, then again, I'm a mathematician, so maybe not the intended audience. I also found it strange that, despite using the name 'taxicab geometry', the author never mentions the connection to taxicabs!)

EDIT: Oh, sorry, the taxi connection does merit a brief sentence:

> All distances are measured not as the shortest distance between two points, but as a taxi driver might count the distance between Point A and Point B: so many blocks one way plus so many blocks the other way.
Maintenance caloric requirements change as your body mass changes (and composition). It's pretty obvious that, for example, your maintenance requirement at 200 lbs will be different from your maintenance requirement at 150 lbs; you have less tissue to sustain.
Makes sense. I disagree with him in that they can definitely have benefit over regular OS for security. The reason is relative simplicity and ability to easily integrate security tech in versus a whole OS with legacy compatibility issues. This was proven in KVM/370, then VAX Security Kernel, then MILS, then Nizza Security Architecture, and then people started leveraging Xen for similar reasons albeit without the same assurance. The NSA's pentesters repeatedly failed to breach some of these despite years of effort while the OS's... see Snowden leaks and TAO catalog.

Of course, I agree that VM's aren't necessary: one of many approaches one can use and don't get the job done by themselves. They are beneficial, though, as running security-critical components on a 4-12Kloc in kernel mode with mediated, simple interface should have way less impact than running it on 1Mloc+ with POSIX-style interface.
Cracking a 250-Year-Old Code to Reveal a Secret Society (2012)
yeah, possibly. This is old reasearch [1] with oldish minifiers (e.g. no UglifyJS) and only one script - jQuery from 5 years ago. However I don't expect large discrepancies if the reseasrch is duplicated with new modifiers and larger sample.

What would be more interesting is to see the results of the different minifications. E.g. how much you get from simply removing comments and whitespace? How much if you also rename variables? There might be diminishing returns (and increased security risks) if you go further than those two simple and "safe" improvements

RTG is a much better solution than solar as Ceres is cold making waste heat useful and increasing RTG efficency somewhat.

Long term people could use solar, but nuclear has a lot of advantages is very cold locations.
The past several years have brought many additions to the x86 architecture that makes it more than shit atop shit. When he wrote it, things like Xen required you to build a kernel with special options for it to run, with all kinds of new and exciting bugs to discover. Things like page table virtualization, which provide a lot better page protection, or being able to shadow the vm control structures, which allow for nested VMs, or IOMMUs, which allow vms to access explicit pieces of hardware, just didn't exist. x86 is in a better condition for virtualization now, and layouts can finally done in a semi-sane way.
My understanding that it is the old G-class which is slightly civilized, if any, of the German military jeep. Like these old Land Rovers we watch in old documentaries, only even more sturdy.

> Consider creating taxicab shapes on graph paper. If you color in cells that satisfy the definition of a circle or ellipse, you're right that you won't see diagonal lines, only colored squares. If, however, you shrink the size of the grid further and further until it's infinitesimally small, those points will take on the appearance of diagonal lines.

This is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure how it helps understanding. As you point out in your first paragraph, taxicab geometry differs from ordinary geometry only in the way that it measures distances (I shy away from saying 'lengths', particularly of curves, because it's not clear to me that the Euclidean theory of rectifiable curves has a nice analogue in taxicab geometry); and distance is a point-point property, not a property of cells. How could one decide whether or not a cell satisfies the definition, except by picking a point in it? (That's not a rhetorical question.)
> caveats intentionally buried in a wall of legalistic fine-print.

It is not buried under legalistic fine-print. They are extremely clear and up-front about what kind of usage is covered under the unlimited data and what the limits on tethering are. When you select the Unlimited plan on their website, "Includes up to 7GB Smartphone Mobile HotSpot data" is the second bullet point in the plan details.

I share your frustration with providers who lie about unlimited data, but this is not that.

It's probably because it's a "security related" product, which caused some moronic knuckle dragger to classify it as a "hacking tool." This happens a lot for things related to networking, security, virtualization, etc.

Corporate IT is a low circle of hell.
The benefit was explained in an early, secure-virtualization project:

http://www.cse.psu.edu/~trj1/cse543-f06/papers/vax_vmm.pdf

Allows easier enforcement of isolation-based policies, easier verification of TCB, compatibility with existing OS/applications/tools, and optional debugging of above OS. Attempts to build secure UNIX's totally failed because it was inherently insecure in so many ways and took many API modifications. Many VM's, separation kernels, etc were built with strong security. Abstraction helps if applied correctly.
