Twitter Apologizes to Developers for Past 'Confusion'
As someone directly inside Snapchat's apparently largest demographic, I honestly can remember voluntarily watching one of the live stories twice, both times because they were related to my hometown. I've never once touched anything in the Discover section, because to be brutally honest, it's exactly what I try to escape. I'm a college student, and beyond even missing cable TV, I now actively dislike it when it's present in the environment. Maybe all my friends are the outliers in the demographic here, but I strongly doubt that any of them would want to watch the Discover content voluntarily either. Snapchat as an entertainment app is foreign to me--I'm using it to communicate with my friends, not with strangers' experiences. I'm already saturated by that content and traditional television content through other avenues.

This makes very clear the practical benefits of same-sex marriage and the real impact it has on people's lives.

Whenever I encounter people being dismissive of same-sex marriage because it's just symbolic/a distraction/etc., these are the kind of examples I give to show how wrong they are.
But it does require you to walk to the nearest ATM, withdraw the nearest round amount to the amount you need, then somehow try to get change from your friend (or just call it even) then walk around with the remainder.

Agreed, certainly at any company that has strong security policies (I'd imagine telecom, for example, is a lot more strict in this regard), after hours access might be an issue.

I think it would be very interesting if the civil courts of the US and EU each forced the other entity into passing stronger privacy protections than they have currently. Specifically, I'm thinking of a scenario where the collapse of Safe Harbor helps force Congress into passing meaningful privacy legislation and drastically curtailing the NSAs overbroad powers and mandates, and the US then turns around to the EU and says "ok, now it's your turn. If we can't spy on everybody, then neither can you."

For what it's worth, this has been going on for at least 10 years in my experience. It's existence isn't so much news to me -- but it's news that it's still around.

In the life sciences, the NIH has personally dealt with several publishers on this issue. The result is that many large journals will ultimately open up their archives on PubMedCentral[0], one year after publication. For most researchers staying current, this is nearly useless.

Basic Income Createathon – San Francisco, Nov. 13-15, 2015
If there were one person for every natural number, then you could put every even-numbered person in room n/2 (where n is the number for that person) and still fill up the entire hotel.

This is because even numbers are infinite, and you can find a one-to-one relation with natural numbers (just divide the even number by 2).

In that case, the infinite hotel is filled, and you still have an infinite amount of people outside it that you can accommodate (the odd-numbered ones) :)
I worked on the Sony cell tool support before it was released. Besides the great point scott_s mentions, the Cell never lived up to the hype. The (original) hype that
got people excited was: dual-thread dual-issue 4.0 GHz PowerPC code + 8 SPUs. Reality was: a 3.2 GHz processor with performance crippling bugs (load-hit-store was one), 7 SPE but really only 5 (one was hardwired to the OS, another to sound processing). The SPE had even worse bugs that made branches absurdly expensive. If that wasn't enough, developers balked at the cache penalty of 64-bit code so Sony imposed a truly mindboggling terrible 32-bit mode that didn't use the physical 32-bit mode but instead effectively emulated it (effectively all arithmetics need to truncate to 32-bit). Finally, the whole inter-SPU communication primitives were way more expensive than they should have been.

There's more, but I have willfully flushed it from memory. Cell was a failed design that deserved to die. I will forever after be skeptical of "heterogeneous" designs like these.
Hi, I'm one of the authors of the piece. As my co-author would say, the industry is fueled by failed projects. But because outright failure is common, huge overruns can be seen as a success when they actually manage to deliver anything of use.
The GPL in particular, and Copyleft in general, have been described as "viral" licenses because of the way they spread and perpetuate themselves.
Everyone in the low end of the business world just uses Tableau or QlikView - neither company is very militant about enforcing their trial licensing; and full versions aren't really all that expensive for a business anyway (~$500 per license per year, but a small company can get away with a single license). Both tools are also much more mature and powerful than this product.

Not saying there's no room for an open source BI platform, but I don't know there's a lot of money in it given the competitive pressure Tableau and Qlik are putting on the SAPs/Oracles of the world. Anything over $100 is going to put you squarely in the realm of real BI tools with MUCH more capability, a much simpler interface, and standardized training programs.

I've pretty much assimilated the word Kappa into my vernacular, just because of how popular its become in competitive video games. Its almost like the old /s that was popular on Digg, where it makes it way more obvious when you are joking about something, which is crucial in conversations where you can't see the other persons face. "You suck" and "You suck, Kappa" have completely different meanings. Its a little weird to use in real life and I only use it in private or joking with friend, but I've even got my girlfriend to understand the meaning and occasionally use it herself, even though the only video game she's ever played is The Sims.
I think it's reasonable criticism in-context - this is a tablet, not a laptop.

A laptop's weight is only relevant when you're transporting it, otherwise it sits on some solid surface and how much it weighs is fairly inconsequential.

A tablet's weight is felt in most use cases during regular use. A lot of people hold tablets in their hands while they're using them rather than set them on some solid surface with a stand - this makes them a fair bit more weight-sensitive than laptops.

Same reason why the 16:9 form factor is fair criticism - it makes the tablet really awkwardly balanced when used in portrait mode, something that isn't an issue with laptops which can only be used in one orientation.

Most likely not, same goes for any artificial material it takes decades until you are able to even begin to start understanding the effect on humans and until your body starts adopting to a new environment.

We now see our bodies starting to utilize mechanisms to repair the damage caused to DNA by the likes of smoking, and even that mechanism is only apparent in a very small part of the human population.

Nano materials are even more scary because depending on the actual material in question they can be made as fine as 100's or 1000's of molecules in size.
Nanoscale Iron Oxide particles that first seemed to be quite bio-compatible now show signs of being potentially quite nasty
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3459910/

We have very little understanding of the chemistry and hence biological impact of materials when we encounter them in very small and unique forms that do not appear in nature.

Quite a few discoveries in material science and chemistry in the past few decades were a result of a field we though we mostly understood an element is an element no matter what, but now we know that the size and formation of elements on the molecular and atomic scales can have a huge impact on attributes of an element or a compound, whilst this isn't like rediscovering chemistry it does point at a very big and not yet understood part of it.

Nano particles are also quite nasty in the way that many of them can pass through some filtration and containment solutions we currently have including hazmat suits and long term storage containers so i think there is a need for a call to stop and think about this entire industry very carefully.
Vi Hart has a few interesting videos on infinity:

"Proof some infinities are bigger than other infinities" (w/ Cantor's diagonal proof)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA6hE7NFIK0

"How many kinds of infinity are there?" (a very good list including surreals, P-adic, the long line, others)

http://vihart.com/how-many-kinds-of-infinity-are-there/

Also, I support her suggestion in "Infinite Trees Are Super Weird" that since we call uncountable line segments the "long line", we should call the uncountably-branching tree the "big tree".

Show HN: 10MinuteStorage – Filesharing simplified with three words
Let us know what you think!
What is the math concept that allows for a hotel with infinitely many rooms in the first place?

One way of (somewhat) formalizing this is to say that you have a set containing infinitely many rooms, and another set containing infinitely many tenants. Intuitively, it does not seem unreasonable that you can give every room its own tenant. Once you do this, then the hotel is "full" in the sense it is impossible to find an empty room.

Of course, we can also think about giving each tenant her own room, which also seems possible. If we can do both of these things, we say that the set of rooms is the same size (or cardinality) as the set of tenants. It is worth noting, that not all infinite sets are the same size [0]. For the purpose of Hilbert's paradox, I believe it is far to assume that we are dealing with countably infinite sets [1]. The mathematical result in Hilbert's paradox is that if you add elements to a countably infinite set, the result is still countable infitite.

This is why we've developed the plugin ecosystem, and a proper volumes API in docker.

With plugins your volume can either live locally or on some other storage management system, like ceph, gluster, s3, etc. These are all working solutions today.
`docker run -v importatndata:/var/lib/mydata --volume-driver ceph`
Run that on two hosts and you get the same data.

In 1.9 there is the volume API that allows you to wire this up prior to docker run `docker volume create --driver ceph --o foo=bar --name importantdata`, then `docker run -v importantdata:/var/lib/mydata`

There are only 2 pages of results - that 170 is from the above article being shared and it will increase to well over 500 by later afternoon (PMT). (As of my finishing of this comment it is up to 192.)

My point was that the statement is not a gendered one, both sides deal with it, and it's especially rare given the lack of results for the phrase.

People don't bat an eye when they call a guy a neckbeard. An unattractive guy trying to flirt? He's a creeper (regardless if he crossed any societal "lines").

But feminism is a hot point and any criticism of it or any defense of man is labeled as a misogynist woman hater (redundancy needed to emphasis the point) and all around scum of the Earth. Anyone pointing out that "ignore verbal harassment and quit letting it control your life; because it isn't going anywhere" is harassed themselves.

I live in the real world. In the real world harassment, murder, and all other sorts of nasty unwanted terrible shit happens and has been happening for centuries. It will continue for centuries until humanity becomes a hive mind or starts to punish for wrongthink and thoughtcrimes.

What I find especially sad and pathetic is how many females get written off entirely if they don't buy into the groupthink and worship the theoretical feminist bible. Somehow those women aren't women or have been brainwashed by the patriarchy. Maybe, just maybe, but if the entire world is "the problem". Maybe the world isn't the problem?

> The OEM's participated in a race to the bottom in an effort to maximize how many people bought PC's. This caused damage to the Windows/PC brand.

That's what strengthened the Windows brand in the first place - availability, unbiquity, and the sense of it being the "default" ("nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft").

Over time, the lack of control over the quality resulted in variation, and Apple was eventually able to capitalize on that by selling themselves as consistent experience, but that's only within the last decade. The OEM situation with Windows has been the case literally since before Windows (it existed during the DOS era as well).

It's good that Microsoft is finally responding to this pressure and providing a default, consistent experience (analogous to the Nexus experience on Android). But I wouldn't say that it's what did damage to the Windows brand, because without it, there wouldn't be a powerful Windows/Microsoft brand in the first place.
I have a few additional points to add.

The SCotUS has ruled that a cop cannot detain you at a traffic stop solely for the purpose of getting a dog to sniff your car. You can only be held for an amount of time reasonable to investigate the offense for which you were stopped, or any other offense that became obvious as a result of the stop.

It does not take 30 minutes to issue a speeding ticket, so if you are stopped for speeding and held 30 minutes until a K-9 shows up to hit on your car, that search is unconstitutional.

This may be why cops have, via extensive self-training, willed their noses into being able to smell things that ordinary people, dogs, and electronic noses cannot detect. When you roll down your window at the traffic stop to hand over license, insurance, and registration, the investigating officer says (for the benefit of his bodycam or dashcam), "I smell alcohol," or "I smell marijuana."

Then they search your car anyway. They do not, for some strange reason, fill several mylar balloons with the air from the inside of your car, and process them as evidence, so that they could possibly be independently tested for those telltale odors later.

They don't even need to find a joint in your ashtray. They could just seize your car on suspicion, without ever charging you with a crime. As forfeiture is an in rem proceeding against the car itself, and the car is not a person, it has no presumption of innocence. You then have to prove not only that you have power of attorney to appear in court for your car, but also prove its innocence from a presumption of guilt.

As long as cops can take that "mucho dinero in the trucky-trailer" with impunity, the forfeiture system will continue to grow more corrupt.

The original iPhone was 400$ without contract (it was locked to AT&T though). However, it could be jail broken by simply going on a website using the built in browser.

Super cool! Do the camera controls 'invert' when you hop into the car, however? When outside the car, grab a point on the car and drag, and that point roughly tracks where you drag your mouse pointer to. Inside the car, the opposite happens. Grab a point, drag the mouse, and the point moves away from the cursor.

Yeah -- it seems crazy that you have to reinvent things like your defendpoint macro.

I know Clojure is all about composable libraries, not frameworks, etc, etc but just as compojure has become the de facto standard for routing, I imagine more libs will emerge higher up the web stack. It'll mean opinionated libraries, but that is the only way to get more people writing apps that deliver value instead of spending time creating macros that ensure (for instance...) the presence of int IDs in API requests.

Agreed. Though I would argue we should be spending even more effort and funding on anti-aging research and AI, the two routes to what people will need at the other end of cryopreservation. (The latter being much more comprehensive than the former.)
