It's difficult to believe that kind of fear is widespread given the degree to which Edward Snowden and the issue of government surveillance in general have seeped into popular culture and started to become mainstream. Discussing him and discussing what he revealed go hand in hand. If people aren't afraid to follow his twitter account why would they be afraid to Google him or watch interviews or visit a website supporting him?
It's worth mentioning on the other hand that -- based on my experience -- the VW Diesels currently being recalled for cheating their NOx tests consume significantly less fuel than they are rated to.

My 2009 Jetta was rated at 29 city, 33 combined and 40 highway . Based on my fuel records, I got 33 city, 36-38 combined and 50 highway.

That means it out-performed the EPA estimates by 25% highway, 12% combined and 14% city.
In fact I CAN recall a governor who is known for the opposite, which was Dukakis being labelled soft on crime for furloughing Willie Horton. American voters quite consistently indicate they want stricter punishments, and from a politician's viewpoint the risk of freeing someone guilty is the worse alternative.

Hi guys, I'm the creator of this little utility. Just noticed a flood of Stars on the repo, and thought it might be posted here.

Information on the chip identifiers was derived from the original closed source tool, and theiphonewiki (https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/S8003 and https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/S8000).

Motivation was basically to have an open source version of the tool, which didn't relay information back to a server or use advertising. Plus having people install unauthorised apps using a leaked/dodgy enterprise distribution certificate is a dangerous game; having an open source tool allows people in the know to install it on their own devices, safe in the knowledge what it's going to do.
I'm comparing the 5X and 6P, also my Nexus 5, to other Android phones on the market, not just to previous Nexus phones. My previous phone, the Galaxy S3, had both #2 and #3, so I definitely don't consider the features wishful thinking.

As with all puchasing decisions, there are tradeoffs, but I definitely don't think it's wishful thinking to want some hardware features common in competitors' phones. Surprising? No, I'm not surprised, but that doesn't stop me from wanting certain features that I liked in other phones I had.
That is an article from greenpeace about poor EU environmental standards in power stations. Sure it is bad but, it does not compare air pollution in EU vs US cities or attribute anything to cars.

My iOS9 device is now 30.5 seconds ahead of NTP and growing about 1.5 seconds per day.

I think you're right about anchoring. It can work, but it's tricky. I think one of the biggest pitfalls is quoting a number significantly greater than what the employer is thinking and raising question of why you're interested in this much lower paying job.
I've struggled to really engage with Asana, when I've had to use it in the recent past. I hope these enhancements make their product better, but apart from one part-time role where I have to use it, Asana isn't my first choice. Keyboard shortcuts are good, but often forgotten and the buttons to do the same not always easily found. Formatting options are limited - I'm not aware of a wide range of Markdown being supported. It's just been an OK experience, without making me want to really buy into the ecosystem.

Over the last 12 months I've tried, and paid for, both Trello and ToDoist. They were both OK, in a bit of a limited way. I really wanted a bit more than either of them offered.

After much investigation and demo use with the likes of Taiga (I really, really wanted to like this, but it was just a bit too locked into a quite rigid Scrum and Sprint approach, when sometimes all I need is a To Do list), Tuleap and Restyaboard, I've now installed my own instance of Kanboard (http://kanboard.net/) on the bottom end DI droplet.

It looks a bit ugly out of the box, but an hour of messing about with a little custom CSS and I think it looks as good as anything else.

I really like the ability to switch views between Kanban board, task list, calendar and a basic Gantt view. This keeps, to some extent, everyone working on the projects happy, especially as many of my team members aren't coming from a development background.

Kanboard seems to be actively developed and reasonably bug free.
Failures are loud. Intelligence successes are generally silent.

Why does HN rally against the big companies that use regulatory capture to squeeze out more profits, but then gives unions a pass. They are doing the same thing: supporting legislation that allows them to squeeze out more profits (as wages).
I've often thought about freezing some eggs, but I heard egg damage can still occur, not to mention physical issues like a freezer failing or costs.

I don't get it. If he hired the guy to commit the murder, that's 100% Murder One and is a life sentence in any state. I oppose the death penalty in general, but I don't see how this guy is innocent because he didn't swing the bat. Hiring someone to commit murder is treated more harshly than a personal act of rage because it's premeditated.
It seems to me that the relevant metric would be the ports' per-container handling fees. According to the article, Oakland charges $300, but it doesn't provide comparable numbers to compare against.
THose defending him are doing so because the evidence available almost certainly indicates that he was convicted solely on the lies of someone under threat of the death penalty himself.

If he legitimately didn't do what he is almost certainly falsely accused of, that makes your bloodthirstiness even more uncomfortable and unjust.

Are you comfortable with your judgment to take someone's life on the desperate accusation of a meth-head avoiding death himself?
It is the celebrity opinion fallacy, but its culturally pervasive and harmless when you strongly agree. Actually he's better than Jolie or Damon because his celebrity is from intelligence and good judgment.

How Spotify’s Discover Weekly cracked human curation at internet scale
Rotterdam's ships arrive after having dropped off cargo at may ports along the way as they travel from Asia, whereas those arriving in LA are making their first port of call of the journey. That accounts for the difference in containers unloaded per ship.
What if we measure efficiency in cost per container moved, rather than size of port per container moved?

Creating a dashboard for measuring developer evangelism impact
Consider a different visualization: what if instead of a hill, you were crossing a valley? Starting at the top of the hill, you coast down and make it most of the way up the other side. Are you certain this will take more energy than pedaling the whole way across the flat?

What if you can start by coasting 90% of the distance with zero expenditure of energy? What if it was 95%? Now assume that your chain is extremely rusty (low efficiency drivetrain). Would it be possible that the energy to go the short distance up the remaining hill (after coasting downhill and halfway up the other side) might be less than overcoming the friction of pedaling the whole way?

I'm not certain that they occur on a bicycle in the real world (perhaps you need a custom crafted rusty chain that has essentially constant high losses regardless of pedaling speed), but I think there are cases where the variable losses due to friction might make the hilly case more efficient than the flat.

(Yes, I realize that chain friction is not the dominant factor in the real world. It's a stylized example.)

Free On-Device Development

Now everyone can run and test their own app on a device—for free. You can run and debug your own creations on a Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch without any fees, and no programs to join. All you need to do is enter your free Apple ID into Xcode. You can even use the same Apple ID you already use for the App Store or iTunes. Once you’ve perfected your app the Apple Developer Program can help you get it on the App Store.

See Launching Your App on Devices for detailed information about installing and running on devices.

Not this shit again. Sea ice in the antarctic is relatively thin because it's seasonal, although somewhat thicker than previously imagined. You also have to bear in mind that Antartica is an actual continent with a huge land mass underneath it, whereas if/when all the ice in the arctic melts, then that's it, there will just be seawater and you won't be able to visit the North Pole. The weather systems are totally different, there are no mountains in the Arctic for example.

Frankly I'm coming to think that the best hope for the future is if the Arctic ice melts comletely every child in the English-speaking world gets pissed about Santa not having anywhere to live.

I always cringe a bit when folks approach hardware like they do software but I'm encouraged that more and more people are building things. Unlike with software, bugs in hardware can have much more interesting (and for some definitions, exciting) failure modes.

That said, using the outer edge of the room to source the lighting is good for accent lighting but not really a good overall lighting scenario.

Of course a simple way to get started is with something like the Hue or LiFX bulbs (I've got some Hue bulbs) and I find that things like persistent notifications (I can have my lights go a different color for time when I'm voluntarily not drinking any caffeine, or to indicate 'stand' and 'sitting' times. ) But for overall room lighting I find there is really a relatively small gamut of colors that make "sense". From deep red, through orange and then right into yellow then white (perhaps with a bluish tint). Brown, Purple, Orange, Green, and Magenta lights? I can't really stand them for very long.

If you can essentially store unlimited energy, there is no need to "put stuff up there", you can just go and shuffle it around from the rest of the solar system. Putting it anywhere other than earth avoids further damaging the planet's ecosystems, and is a step towards the direct exploitation of the sun itself.
Those are total weights, loaded. The cars themselves have less weight. These numbers are for our country variants:

VW Up!: curb weight 920 kg, max total weight 1290 kg.

Audi Q3: curb weight 1460 kg, max total weight 1980 kg.

Audi Q5: curb weight 1935 kg, max total weight 2460 kg.

So, modern passengers are very heavy...

That's a great point, Rotterdam and Oakland are both not great choices for comparisons. However, there is a general point that US ports such as LA + Long Beach do lag in efficiency compared to Asian ports such as Singapore for example (which is heavily automated but also unionized).

For example in "CONTAINER TERMINAL PRODUCTIVITY:
EXPERIENCES AT THE PORTS OF LOS ANGELES AND LONG BEACH" Le and Murphy give some comparisons of LA and Long Beach to other leading terminals.

Taking Singapore as our main example, as of 2004 it moved 2.7 as much container volume as LA but occupied roughly half the land area. It has 6 times the TEU/acre of LA and 64% higher TEU/crane. General trends also hold for Kwai Tsing (HK) and Klang (Malaysia).

To quote Le and Murphy in the above-mentioned paper:

"Further consideration of these factors reveals that the terminal operators at these
ports are aware of the technologies and practices used at other world ports that would allow them
to achieve a higher level of performance. However, the present operating agreements between
terminal operators and port labor prevent the implementation of such technologies and practices."
The updater could just fall back to a non-delta update for anything that's been modified. That would help with other problems too, like storage corruption. SIP is supposed to be about security, not keeping updaters from doing a bit more work.
I ran 'brew update' and 'brew upgrade' just prior to upgrading to El Capitan. After the upgrade I just had to change ownership on /usr/local back to myself, but everything else seems fine.
Man, half of these left me laughing but the other half flew pass my head.

Are there any good resources on logic?
Car computers are notoriously inaccurate. I have observed errors up to 12% in vehicles from multiple manufacturers. Car computers can be helpful in a relative sense to tell you whether one style of driving is more or less efficient than another but they're basically worthless for absolute calculations. The only reliable way to accurately calculate fuel economy (in mpg units) is to divide the number of miles since you last refueled by the number of gallons to fill the tank.

I really like a lot of what you've done, though there's still some polish needed (I love that you do polish weeks). Asana has been fantastic to work with, and it really makes it possible to do my job. Thank you!

One thing I'm sorry to see continue to go unfixed is the inability to copy and paste text out of MS Word or Outlook into asana without losing formatting and having the spaces removed between words. I've spoken to support about it, but get a response of "just copy and paste it into textedit or notepad, then copy that into asana", which isn't really a solution.

We use asana for graphic design projects (among many other things) where text formatting is important. Bits and pieces often come out of emails, and it would be a huge productivity boost to be able to work directly in comments and task descriptions instead of attachments (or having to paste, fix, and reformat each comment).

Seems like it would be an important feature, it's a problem I work around daily.

I've been freelancing for over 2 years now and I use Freshbooks (http://www.freshbooks.com/) for all my time tracking / invoicing. It also can accept payments via Stripe, as well as connect to my business credit card to automatically pull in expenses, so most of my accounting stuff gets very easy to handle -- I barely log in to it for any management, I just use ChronoMate (http://chronomateapp.com/) to track my time, and it auto-generates weekly invoices to send to my clients. Couldn't recommend it enough!
Contrary to the intro, Seems to me that I recall most old games using MOD and other tracker formats instead of MIDI.... but the point is that it was sequenced samples, I suppose.
I couldn't disagree with you more. This paper offers no insight, only excuses to accept that software will always be buggy. If anything I'd encourage young engineers to explore technologies that have been not been explored to their fullest potential. Computer Science is a very young field and many unexplored paths such as flow based or some automated programming method that hasn't been dreamed up yet that may lead to far more reliable software.

I dread to think what today's CPUs would be like if an electrical engineering version of this was required reading for every EE in the 70s. We should just accept buggy CPUs because of the complexity in designing CPUS with 7 billion transistors.
To this day this piece from 1987 remains one of the most wanted pieces of wisdom:

I still remember the jolt I felt in 1958 when I first heard a friend talk about building a program, as opposed to writing one. In a flash he broadened my whole view of the software process. The metaphor shift was powerful, and accurate. Today we understand how like other building processes the construction of software is, and we freely use other elements of the metaphor, such as specifications, assembly of components, and scaffolding.

The building metaphor has outlived its usefulness. It is time to change again. If, as I believe, the conceptual structures we construct today are too complicated to be specified accurately in advance, and too complex to be built faultlessly, then we must take a radically different approach.
Let us turn nature and study complexity in living things, instead of just the dead works of man. Here we find constructs whose complexities thrill us with awe. The brain alone is intricate beyond mapping, powerful beyond imitation, rich in diversity, self-protecting, and selfrenewing. The secret is that it is grown, not built.
