Ah good info, thanks.
So why colonize Mars, and not the Moon?

The Moon is much closer and you're facing similar problems - low gravity and virtually no atmosphere or no atmosphere. At the same time you eliminate the long trips that would complicate Mars colonization.
That's the point of Diffie Hellman. Look at the paint can diagram on the Wikipedia page; a lot of people find it helpful.

Yes, once you've done a DH exchange, you can use the established key to relay a nonce to prove both sides have the same key.
As a recent home buyer, I found Zillow information to be at least one week out of date. In most cities, that probably isn't a big deal; however in the San Francisco Bay area I found the site pretty useless because all of the homes I was interested in, I was unable to see because they were usually off the market, pending or very late in the process where I was unable to visit the home.

I ended up using a Sotheby's owned site, with accurate data.

Additionally, their Zillow Estimate information is at least 20% low in SF, even by admission of their own analysis: http://www.zillow.com/zestimate/#acc

The benefit I should mention is that I met a great Realtor through their ads, which he admitted to spending thousands of dollars on per month on.
>google still does not get the fact that some apps do not need

I think that Google is way aware of the situation.
The problem is that most apps need internet access in order to work. A permission that most of the apps will have to ask for is useless because the casual user will just be trained to accept it in all cases.
AFAIK, that's how iOS handles network access as well.
Permissions are here to safeguard the access to your personal data, that's it.
Why do we have to send the whole ascent vehicle in advance? Why not just send the fuel tanks and some fuel making equipment, then use the cabin, life support, maybe even the rocket motors etc. from the descent vehicle to finish the craft?

Going even further, if a combined descent/ascent vehicle could bring down empty fuel tanks, the fuel making equipment could stay on mars and make fuel to supply the next mission.
It's as much holographic as the Oculus (or other head-tracked HMDs), and the missing depth cue (accommodation) doesn't seem very important in practice. See here [0] for a good discussion on what is and is not holographic, in the context of the HoloLens, from an academic VR researcher.

The computing power in a modern smartphone is amazing, to allow something like that to actually be usable.

I imagine some companies might think about equipping their mobile employees with Lumias for when they're out of the office, and the dock adapter for when they're back in the office. Sales, insurance agents, car inspectors - any job where they go on site, but return to the office afterwards.
Comparing Lehman's to AIG is like comparing a ocean tanker to the ocean it travels through (or at the least the port system it uses).

AIG was an assurer-of and garantier-on just about everything financially related. Even when not directly, everything came back to it indirectly.

If it went down, the entire system would have to follow, including the economic value of the average person's bank account.

The banks could have been failed to some extent, but that was never an option for AIG.

AIG was such a safe bet, that during the height of the financial meltdown, brokerage accounts for "risk averse" clients where purchasing high yielding AIG bonds without so much as breaking a sweat.
There seems to be a whole lot of other countries disagreeing with JC[1]. May be they realised doing nothing is not an option. Personally I disagree, because excluding economic net effects borders ignorance. The US are neither an isolated actor nor a minor player on this planet.

Nash tries to convince the audience that money is good despite popular opinions on money being the root of all evil. Those opinions aren't baseless, though. Money entitles you to a reward from society, no matter how you got the money. Even if some people know you did terrible things to get it, you only have to find one person willing to reward you. The store that sells things to that person is rewarding them for rewarding you for doing terrible things. We're all complicit in rewarding people for terrible things because our money makes us powerless.

We want the good part of money: it allows us to engage in economic games of transferable utility, so we don't have to barter. But it'd also be nice to prevent the bad parts as well. Our current solution is regulation, so the profitable strategy becomes innovating new ways to profit at the public's expense before regulations are in place.

We should just stop rewarding people for doing things that harm the public. If you make money by polluting, we should stop rewarding you. If you make money by tricking people into taking out loans they can't afford, we should stop rewarding you. We know who these people are, but as individuals, we have no way to stop rewarding them. We need a money that lets us do that.

Instead of today's currencies, let's just explicitly model our spending. When I buy a bottle of water from a store, let's create a database record where I assert that the store rewarded me with $1 of stuff. Let's also connect that to the justification for the reward: either I did some work for someone else, or the store is letting me owe them a dollar. Instead of using a traditional private database, let's put these records in a public, shared database on a blockchain.

This gives individuals the information to decide whose rewards they want to be complicit in. If you've done terrible things, I don't want to reward people for rewarding you. If you're impoverished and don't have a way to do valuable things for other people, I want to reward people who reward you anyway.

This is merit capitalism.

Wow, this page is a mess - here's an element based breakdown of the switching elements in their presentation:

MSFT:

- nav 1

- nav 2

- header with what sounds like a call to action, but no button to buy?

- hero image with text overlaid that has terrible contrast nobody will read

- inter-page menus with some insane zooming function that scared my browser

- another hero image

- 3 columns - maybe buttons? no not clickable.

- another hero image

- 3 more columns - maybe buttons? no not clickable.

- another hero image

- 3 more columns - maybe buttons? no not clickable.

- 2 columns marketing other products? maybe buttons? yes - those little ">" things mean they're clickable i guess.

- 3 more columns - maybe buttons? ok now they're buttons. but there's no ">"?

- another hero image with a price action, no button to click to follow the action! WTF!

VS vs the iPad Pro http://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/ which is single column and nav consistent throughout.

As the old quote goes "If I'd had more time I would have written a shorter letter."

Yes. Sites can ban traffic for any reason they choose. You're using their servers and they have the right to determine how those servers are accessed.

They don't need a specific "right" to control their servers. Likewise, users on the internet have no "right" to access anything.

> Post Title and Article Title must agree

No, the rule is "Please use the original title unless it is misleading or linkabit." That "unless" is critical. I wish we had some linguistic superglue to keep the two clauses stuck together—they always fall apart in shipping and the first bit is the only one people remember.

> The poster must be popular or someone affiliated with the mods, else they would've had their posting rights revoked by now.

Don't assume omniscience! We miss things. Also, we don't revoke posting rights because of titles unless people break the rules a lot.
"The continuation and survival of the human race is the top priority among a large population of people. Some contribute by researching new medicines (Why do this?), others improve quality of life for others (Why do this?), others have children (Why do this?), and others look for a way to get us away from a potentially doomed planet in case of disaster scenarios."

The vast majority of medical research goes to diseases that pose no existential threat to Homo Sapiens. Even Malaria, which kills upwards of 500,000/yr, does not pose any existential threat. Late-life diseases such as alzheimers have no effect whatsoever on Homo Sapiens, yet receive substantial funding. No, medical research largely serves to decrease human suffering, a goal which I do regard as noble.

Likewise, why does increasing quality of life matter? Humans will continue to reproduce even in conditions of abject poverty. What does quality of life have to do with anything? (You, after all, seem to think putting humans in a thin metal tube and hurling them through space to live out their life on a cold, barren rock is important. Surely you don't think this would increase their quality of life).

As for children, I have no clue what people see in them. But they seem to reproduce because having children makes them happy, not out of some perceived obligation to Homo Sapiens.

My point isn't that you need to share my morals. My point is that you should acknowledge your morals are not universal.
This is unfortunately a very bad lecture. Let me list why:

* Nash ignores the field of monetary economics and tries to re-invent the wheel.

* He justifies his ignorance of existing work because it is influenced by "Keynesians" who are bad, because, well just because.

* He apparently doesn't like "printing money", but he
doesn't critique monetary policy at all.

* There is no rigorous model of anything.

* Worst of all he has shown no empirical evidence for anything.

The lecture is really a lot of handwaving. This is not his field. Read him on game theory please.
I have a bay trail asus T200 which is a similar, albeit low-end, device.

The problem for me, under Windows 8.1, has been getting the machine to enter a true low power sleep state. If the machine enters the true low power state than it can work like a tablet, and if you use it lightly (say an hour a night) you can get a week's worth of use without recharging.

Unfortunately if any of the hardware components doesn't go to the low power state, the device will likely be dead or close to it if you don't use it for a day. Microsoft has a utility which tells you which component is keeping device from powering down, but doesn't tell you what software is causing this behavior. Windows 10 is supposed to improve this, but you can't turn off windows update so you lose one way to fight the battery drain.

One way you can fight this, besides plugging it in every night, is powering it down when you are finished, which isn't as bad as it seems because the device boots cold in about 5 seconds.
I wonder if a tripod might work better for quality and stability? Seems like a good cost-effective way to report news if the quality issue can be resolved.
I was wondering and after some Googling it seems the dock is not using DisplayLink but some proprietary connector routing DisplayPort and USB3 which means it works with Linux well. This is awesome news.

The keyboard we discussed yesterday https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10334026 is less than an inch bigger in each direction -- I am wondering whether I could replace a laptop with that keyboard and the Surface Pro 4, hrm. It's possible now with 16GB.
To be fair... in a lot of SFBA locales, homes are selling for 20% over list anyway. So even sellers (and agents) are having a hard time pricing the demand.
I think I'd argue against Sharepoint simply because of the investment and vendor lock-in required. You do have an extremely solid point about Google Apps at the bottom end because of this exact reason though.

I only wish the O365 platform was more stable. I had endless issues when I tried to setup a paltry 50 accounts from a different managed Exchange platform. We ended up with using the Office products using the O365 license (cost of 2013/2015 products was far too high to justify individual licenses), but switching Exchange back to the previous provider.

Also, when it comes to high availability, there isn't much that can beat the ease of SQL Server's HA solutions. I personally greatly prefer PostgreSQL over everything, but there is no doubt in my mind that MSSQL is a solid platform.
Me too. In many ways, money basically ruined it. It happens everywhere where builders get replaced by businessmen.

Don't get me wrong - I appreciate what money did here. But I also hate that most of the Internet is now flooded with ads, SEO, "entrepreneurs" seeking ways to make a quick buck and startups monetizing the most basic aspects of human interaction.
I think it'd be awesome for some commerce/business organization to champion electronic data on paper receipts.

But I think it's much more likely that we'll sooner see itemized electronic receipt data from the smartphone-based payment brokers (Apple Pay, Android Pay, etc) -- assuming it doesn't already do that.

I would hazard a guess that the $3,000 price tag for this dev kit would easily pass $10,000 with a significantly larger FOV. I don't have a detailed understanding of the optical magic Microsoft is using for the display, but given how small it was in the previously demonstrated prototype, where cost was no issue, an economical way to scale it up is probably still a few years off.

This is all nice; and as hinkley pointed, Stanford already proposed a better protocol. The primary issue in my opinion is how to trust the JavaScript arriving from the server that it does what it's supposed to do.

In my humble opinion; we need to use the blockchain to save hashes for trusted and open-audited JavaScript files to be confirmed by the user. This, however, needs to be done at the browser level to avoid an endless trust loop with JavaScript/browser extensions. blockstrap.com has figured out how to put file hashes on the chain; so technically it shouldn't be a major challenge to do the first part. The browser part is where it gets tricky!
I worked at Redfin. MLS is an agreement between all of the brokerages to share their listings. As long as Redfin has a real estate office in the region then they will have access to the local MLS.

On the other hand, Zillow requires agents to manually upload listings.

This is why Zillow is nationwide and Redfin is limited to a (growing) list of cities.

Well, I tried, as I said I'm not a scholar but a student.

> I've come to know both things are bad is not something I can conveniently answer, before you ask

Yet, you ask me the reason I use a text that is the basis of my church's beliefs that were taught to me to show those are bad.

I don't think its instinctive to know its bad or else it would have not been such an institution in the first place.

To be fair to the Bible, it doesn't advocate slavery, but it does have commands on how to treat slaves including freeing them. I guess there is a pragmatism in lessening the horror when its not ingrained to end it outright.

> Microsoft's server software is actually top-notch and has been for years.

I disagree because I think there's a lot more important things to a server than those tools. What I want from a server is versatility. I want to learn one server OS and use it for all of my server needs (for the most part). I can't do that with Windows Server because it's not a good platform for non-Microsoft technologies.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
my realtor was able to estimate the price better than Zillow, I feel like they need a better machine learning model to accommodate different markets. (Denver, SF and Ohio are very different places)
Which is fine when you're starting out, but infinitely frustrating after you have an idea of what you're doing.

A recent example, looking for errors in windows logs:

Closest *NIX analogue I can think of would be

grep -r Error /var/log/ | sort

Yeah, there's actually a reasonable case that our initial historical fossil fuel burning (say, up to 1950, 1980?) saved us from a new ice age that was about to dawn.

We unfortunately since then have pushed the dial way, way further, likely now past a tipping point towards a mostly ice-free hothouse planet.

So, the person you responded to said exactly none of that, so feel free to stop exaggerating.

The site really is ugly as sin, with elements you need to interact with hidden all over the place in nonintuitive fashion. Bugs left to languish for months. Dead links on the frontpage for years. Add to that, allowing every single subreddit to redesign everything with their own CSS leads to a highly divisive experience.

Also, sorry you find an opinion insulting.

Sure, but it seems like if they wanted to be able to connect USB devices while the Book is in a tablet mode, they would simply put USB ports on the screen instead of engineering a fancy reversible hinge. Ports just don't seem like the killer reason to offer that mode.

Usually the keyboard-folded-back mode is offered in lieu of a detachable screen.

I didn't realize the Glass was quite so underpowered. Somehow I feel better knowing the hardware hasn't yet caught up to the need.
Because no devices require USB-C yet? Regular USB stuff isn't going to just disappear, so it's really not that big a deal. It's like not having a bluray drive or a 3d-tv screen - nobody cares.
Realtors are often encouraging sellers to list below market rate to encourage bidding wars. When you have to go through several of these before you can get into a house, it causes quite a frenzy in people. This isn't the norm across the country.

In other markets, realtors usually have clients list houses above market value with the expectation the sellers will come down.
> Cumbersome or you just aren't familiar with it yet?

Cumbersome. To create my own cmdlet that does the cool stuff Powershell can do (as far as piping) my choices are a terrible language like ps1 or .NET.

> Likewise, users on the internet have no "right" to access anything

Yes, they have a right to block you, but that doesn't imply that a terms of service which prohibits automated access is legally enforceable. A TOS is not a contract so you can't put whatever you want in there and expect a court to honor it. To my knowledge US courts have not decided ohitsdom's question, but I could be wrong.

However, if the site makes an attempt to block you from automatic access (even an IP block) and you circumvent it, you're in violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. See Craigslist v. 3Taps. (disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer)

A lot of the reason Reddit skews young is the interface, which in turn results in a young-male echochamber.

What is absolutely insulting is to imply that women or older people can't handle Reddit's UI, moreso when it's a completely unsubstantiated speculation.
This looks like a great step in the right direction for Microsoft, but their marketing copy, "Use it like a clipboard" is profoundly jarring. Why is Microsoft afraid to use the word "tablet"? Clipboard is hardly a synonym.
Respect for detailed analysis and quote.
You don't need to be "read in" to know that they are using a version of the waveguide-based display [1] though it helps to be an AR developer ;). The hard limit on these is the shape and resolution of the SBG display system which maxes out around 40 degrees.

ODG uses a similar system and has the same FOV.

You need a wholesale new way of doing displays to get to a wider FOV.
