> The other bridges discussed are iconic throughout the world.

I don't think they are. The only iconic North American bridge is the Golden Gate Bridge — this is widely recognised.

Worldwide, I'd add Tower Bridge [1], but I'm struggling to think of another bridge that is so widely known that it's instantly recognizable by a significant number of people.

[1] If you don't the name and don't recognise it, then I'm probably wrong: http://cdn.rsvlts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Tower-Bridg...

The real cause is geometry. They have narrow strips of land because they were divided this way when inherited.

They just did. Nowhere in the article did they state that orders were not carried out. They did say that a number of the guys quit, because the orders seemed to be not entirely true or correct.

Also, an important point is that it IS NOT war in the case of drone strikes most of the time.

Admittedly, I am one of those people who can absolutely not understand why the actual people in the trenches during war do not just get out and agree with the other people they are supposed to be shooting, that those particular people don't have anything to do with the political reasons for the conflict, but don't let that distract you from the points I made above.

Da'esh, ignoring the fact that they're a terrorist organisation, are actually trying to solve an interesting problem, which is, they need to be both secure, but also engage with/recruit people who are not so tech savvy and are used to easy social media apps with simple UX - basically they NEED to be BOTH secure AND accessible. So whilst they likely know of more secure options like PGP or OTR, these are not what their target audience are using or have the capability to use - they are interested in keeping the dragnet for new recruits wide, so have to tailor their approach for the current generation, hence Telegram, which is supposedly secure and also already making inroads in the current market as an alternative to WhatsApp, and is less geeky than something like Signal.

I remember years back when I attempted the same problem with a thing called Wire, for activists, that I posted on here and combined Facebook/Twitter type stuff with "secure" messaging, which was a web based UI that implemented AES256 based browser encryption based on the Stanford JS library. I got thoroughly roasted by people that knew what they were doing, so I shut the project down realising that what I was doing was dangerous due to lack of qualification. It's interesting seeing all the projects that have sprouted up since, and clearly I was on the money with the initial idea.

>Eight 74172s provide eight 16-bit registers in a three-port register file. This file may simultaneously write one register ("A"), read a second ("B"), and read or write a third ("C"). In a single clock cycle, the following occurs:

>a) one register is output to the Address bus and the ALU's A input;

>b1) another register may be output to the Data bus and the ALU's B input; or

>b2) data from memory may be input to another register;

>c) an ALU function is applied to A (and perhaps B) and the result is stored in the first (address) register.

I consider the 74172 a FOUR port register file, since it can simultaneously perform two reads and two writes. Exploiting all four data paths can really turbocharge a design, even a so-called "Pathetic" Instruction Set (PISC) machine like this.

Dunno if 74172's are generally available nowadays but I have several dozen purchased in the 20th century for a yet-unbuilt design of my own.

In my experience, if you find that your values are at odds with the company culture, you should think very carefully about leaving.

Unless you're at/near the top of the organisation, trying to challenge an ingrained culture is difficult, and you risk being perceived as "difficult", "obstructive", "not a team player", etc. and, from personal experience, it can be stressful and depressing.

Does anyone other that Google use GCE for production workloads?

I never meet people who are. My sense is they're a distant #3.

Maybe they don't have the storage issues Azure does? Or maybe they're worse. Who knows.

AWS has indicated that the network is the bottleneck growing faster at a slower rate than everything else which has huge implications for anything network attached.

There is tremendous IP required to be competitive in the space and admittedly Google may well have built that capability for its own services.

still the number one thing holding Google back has got to be the fundamental lack of knowing how to be an enterprise oriented business. I suppose that can be learned just as Microsoft is learning to be a cloud business.

my final concern is their branding seems komplex I don't like Google "compute engine" as it doesn't flow off the tongue nor does the acronym. Google Cloud does but it's confused if they want to call Google Cloud compute and Google Cloud docs and email all cloud offerings... admittedly Microsoft blurs these lines too. Only AWS can claim to be be the clear compute cloud winner and not need to hide cloud usage numbers in SaaS offerings also sold

I've seen plenty of APIs written in ASP.Net using Visual Studio, typically returning json and/or xml data, sometimes to a Javascript web front end.

In the current version, you start in ASP.Net MVC with an ApiController. In vNext, the ApiController is folded into the regular Controller infrastructure (1).

NancyFx (2) is also good for building data apis.

Ask HN: What are the benefits of Docker?
Docker is becoming quite popular. I've used it as an end-user just 3 times, and it never worked as expected. But assuming it does work, can you please list some actual benefits? And contrast them with install scripts, for example (considering the overhead of the VM and the issues in VM-host communication).

There are two use-cases - software that gets distributed to end-users for deployment, and internal software that gets deployed on your own (or cloud) infrastructure.

Let's look at the 2nd case, which is more dominant. Why would I, as a developer, package my software with docker, if I can provide install scripts that do all of that, and thus have scriptable deployment without any extra overhead or learning curve? Or is docker mostly useful for the 1st usecase above?

This is actually a fairly old idea and hinges on the role of leg muscles in general circulation and brain irrigation.

That's the reason why I wanted a laptop with a cellular modem inside the case (these are getting harder to find by the way, no idea why). I don't want anything sticking out of the machine while I'm on the move and may have to use it. 99% of the time it is on my desk and plugged in but as soon as I start moving around with it I want it to be free from protrusions because it is only a matter of time before I bump it into something and that will most likely shear the connector straight of the motherboard. So I don't think you're too rough, laptops in transit are simply fragile.
Exactly. That's why we opt for free speech. We allow people to lie and attempt to deceive and spin because we know that it's better for citizens to be accustomed to the marketing and somewhat robust against it than to trust some other higher power that can betray the unprotected and unaware masses.

I never knew that the decision to not have versioning built into go was because of the diamond dependency problem. This makes a lot of sense now that I think about it. I wonder what alternatives to manually versioning things the go team is considering.

(How could non-3 Python have good Unicode support? :-) )

The default Python regexp gets into a tailspin on less well formulated regexps, which did work well with both PCRE and Perl 5. (I wrote an application (specialized query language) a few years ago where programmers entered regexps. Sometimes the execution just hanged. This was 2.6 and early 2.7.)

I haven't tried the external regexp module, but hope it is better.

This is not true. If it were true, then the small mutations caused during reproduction of humans (for example) would result in huge changes to the phenotype. Typically, the genotype is fairly robust, for obvious reasons.

OTOH, in genetic algorithms there is usually much less redundancy and neutrality in their genomes, because they are designed to solve problems, rather than simply survive.

I've been using both GCP and AWS for awhile now and think they both have their strengths and weaknesses. AWS has an amazing breadth and depth to their offering that GCP can't match. GCP has some very nice little features though such as how easy it is to use their system with the gcloud CLI vs AWS' CLI. The GCP offerings feel as though they were planned out and have some overarching standards whereas the AWS offerings feel as though disparate teams designed them and they tried to standardize them together after the fact.

But GCP has some big gaps esp when it comes to the network and their firewall vs AWS' far superior security groups. Google has no way to chain rules together right now which can make configuring a pain. Google also feels as though it was really meant for everyone to be super user to take advantage of their web console vs AWS where the amount of ways to segment access is dizzying.

And it's a good recommendation, IMO. Still not something I'll ever use because it too slurps up contacts. I mentioned this some time ago, and the responses were interesting - from "that's not a bad thing" to "but they do it in a nice way".

In reality, most brand names aren't very explanatory. Digital Ocean would be completely ambiguous if you weren't familiar with them. Azure? Could be anything. Hell, there was a time when people heard "Amazon" and wondered aloud why an online book store shared a name with the rainforest region.

The real problem is not the branding, it's the sheer amount of products. Frankly, the branding should be at the branch-level (Network/Servers/Databases/Data Analysis) rather than at the bottom leaf.

Since the main difference between sand and Intel processors is some expensive processing, processors might have a fair price of, to be generous, 1000 times the cost of sand. So processors cost the ballpark of $10 per kilogram.

Obviously they don't right now, but it gets you thinking about the intrinsic value of processors and how that price might move in the future.

Industrial diamond use is not limited to burning (in fact burning isn't really an industrial use of diamond as far as I know, there's plenty of cheap ways to heat stuff). Diamonds (mostly synthetic) are used for cutting, piercing (drill bits), abrading[0], anvils in very high-pressure context and electronics heat sinks.

Most of the mined diamond production and the vast, vast majority of synthetic diamonds are not gemstone-grade and are used industrially.

So diamonds cost the ballpark of $50 per kilogram.

Close. Current prices for industrial diamonds seem to be more like $100-400 pr. kilogram depending on exactly what you want. Of course those diamonds aren't exactly the type you put into jewelry.

Well, I distrust this kind of software patents in general, and (this violates Facebook’s patent grant) think most of them are invalid, including many which Facebook owns.

So, as I directly and openly violate their grant, I’d prefer to make sure that their patents either (a) don’t apply in Germany, or (b) are invalid, or (c) they don’t actually have patented a specific kind of idea.
The article says this:

> And there can't be any casts because you can't write a type without at least one identifier. [...] And since there can't be any casts, there can't be any floating constants.

It says that there can't be floating-point constants because there aren't casts.

But I just demonstrated a way to make a floating-point constant without a cast: 0.5f. Thus, surely, the statement that there can't be floating-point constants is wrong, since the only objection to them presented is that you need casts to construct them?

Edit: Ah, now I see the problem.

> An integer constant expression shall have integer type and shall only have operands that are [...], and floating constants that are the immediate operands of casts

Since you can only have a float constant that's an immediate operand of a cast, and since you can't have casts, you can't have floats. Aha :)

Nicely implemented chat services are in demand, or so it seems. They might be sold into the billions and monetized with ads, and I guess the negative spin comes from purely business origin, though disguised as concerns of crypto professionals.

BTW, if Telegram crypto was that much insecure why members of the so-called "security community" haven't yet compromised the Telegram chat for real (regardless of any contests and petty rules) and proven they had been right?

I don't rule out this as impossible - I just think that without such proof it's all just a kind of stupid whining.
It won't because the main value of dug diamonds is rarity, which makes them perfect goods to display your wealth and status. Many of these goods are stored in vaults (some in freeports, areas of an airport carved out for fiscally optimized storage), and the only sign of a change of ownership is an extra name on a registry... but the whole point is to leave your mark on that registry.

So, the demand for these diamonds is not driven by their diamond-ness, just as the James Bond set Astons fetch higher value at auction than the same model sold at retail.

You can already see a version of this by heading to any jewelry shop and comparing lab diamond prices to the stuff sold by Tiffany's etc. Or just asking any young, not yet married lady in the street if she'd be OK with a synthetic.
