I wouldn't assume that most Americans know anything about the NSA snooping. Last Week Tonight ( John Oliver ) did man-on-the-street interviews last year to find out how many people knew about Edward Snowden. The number was approaching zero.

I would take a bet that the NSA is just as well known.

NVIDIA currently supports HEVC decoding on it's GTX 900 (and 750ti/se as they are also Maxwell) GPU's.
iPhone 6s has h265 decoding also (works with Plex without transcoding flawlessly).
Qalcomm has support for HEVC through all of it's latest generations 200 (2xx, 4xx, 6xx all) through 800 (808 onward) series of SOC's.

I have not had issues playing 1080 x265 content videos on any of my mobile devices past 18 months or so since they've started releasing them.
There's just something to be said about 200-300MB per 1080p episode and about 700MB per movie.
Can cram an entire library to most of my current mobile devices for a flight/long commute without having to worry about SD cards/USB OTG.
I've seen projects that use jQuery just for the selector part, nothing else is used. Selectors are a core strength of jQuery. With document.querySelector, I wouldn't even include jQuery in a new project. `window.addEventListener` isn't much different than .on
For decoding CPU usage comparison is pretty pointless since every relevant device will have hardware decoding.

And encoding speed really only matters as far as real time services go like streaming services.

underscore.each has an optional 3rd parameter (context). lodash.each does not. If you depend on that 3rd parameter, you will be in a world of pain if you drop-in lodash. In fact you'd be better off if there was no alias because you would catch the problem sooner and have to think about the API differences when fixing it.
Your odds of winning are as close to zero as the marginal utility of that dollar is.

If you enjoy playing, then great. Nothing says smart, sophisticated people can't enjoy gambling. But the justifications people use to rationalize buying tickets are pretty wacky. It's not a sensible choice. Doesn't matter if the expected value is positive, doesn't matter if you have a strategy for not sharing the jackpot. But if enjoy playing, that's all you need.
Why is a sign up required to use this?
But isn't in fact Turing complete?

It has variables, control structures, loops and exceptions.
Note that C# famously broke backwards compatibility when it added generics. I say "famously" because it opted not to follow Java's type-erasure approach (which was chosen so as to explicitly maintain backwards compatibility), and history seems to agree that the minor amount of pain back then was well worth the improvements that it brought to the language (especially relative to Java).
I feel you haven't read the book yet. I recommend it. The movie compresses it strongly, and so character development is pretty much skipped. Mark Watney is a smartass by design, and he has some more funny quips in the original text, but generally you can see how his attitude changes after hundreds of days of being stranded alone, having to fight for his life against both Mars and the crappy disco music. Even accounting for his training, I can totally believe him going totally pissed when he finally contacts NASA, and they immediately start bossing him around according to some checklists. But that's the context that wasn't emphasized in the movie.

Writing this I see now that the movie itself may not feel as "hard sci-fi" as it does if you know the book - e.g. the agricultural arc was very much rushed in the movie. In the book, the protagonists takes things more slowly, and much more thoughtfully.

(And I have no frikkin' clue what's with the downvotes; upvoting to compensate.)

Another level of experimental blinding would be to avoid conferring with the other observatory (there are two components to LIGO, one in Hanford, WA and one in Livingston, LA) for confirmation/correlation until after one site's evaluation is complete. I don't know whether this is the current practice.

In any case, if the observatories are actually able to detect gravitational waves and if there are no theoretical obstacles, eventually two black holes will merge, which will produce a completely fantastic observation consisting of a rapidly rising frequency (as the two BHs circle each other closer and closer, shedding their orbital energy as gravitational waves), followed by a very loud cosmological pop as the BHs finally collapse into each other.

If that were the only comment the author made, sure. He did a pretty good job of defending his view, I think, with lots of citations etc. It is a viewpoint -- it's the opposite of looking at something and saying, "ooh, this is new and cool!" Now, it's probably more productive in most circumstances to have an open mind, but that is a matter of preference. Personally, I like to have my childlike enthusiasm for new things balanced out by the voices of other, more cynical people.
Odd, I've done the same thing now and it has worked flawlessly. Maybe it is learning from the "Perfect / Poor" votes.

The big change was string/byte-array typing, which was a mess in Python 2 and was cleaned up in Python 3.

And made worse in some cases (e.g. http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0461/). Even aside from that, I would argue that the benefits of cleaning up Unicode didn't come close to the cost of breaking everyone's code and fragmenting the language for 7+ years.

wow so instead of running my configuration management stuff I know need to either:
- be on aws
- be on gcloud
- any other cloud that has docker support out of the box

OR:
I need docker + a configuration management to setup my environment, or I need to somehow manage my coreos configs.
Oh and finally don't forget to run a network over a network cause it's dockerish so for most clouds this means we run a network on a network which runs a network.

docker adds so much complexity. people just don't see this right upfront and use most of their time into these stuff, but there are easier ways to deploy.

YES if you are really big and if your servers needs to scale way beyond the most than you need it probably since configuration management won't help you and setting up servers even in the cloud take some time looking at some netflix articles.
however i just don't get it why people use their time for docker when there are other things to do in their programs.

CRISPR Dispute to Be Decided by Patent Office
I'm convinced that the breakage in new C++ compilers is worse than Rust's breakage. New C++ compilers and language revisions break more than 4% of code. Likewise with many other languages, such as Ruby. We're just very up front about regressions when they do occur.

> edit: It's not an entirely fair comparison, but for what my ideal stability promise for a programming language would look like, one need not look very far - only as far as Mozilla's other programming language.

As a matter of fact, JS's stability promise is very similar. See my other post for an example in which JS was broken due to, essentially, one of the reasons you cited, and we lived with it. The JS stability promise is not "we will never break any JavaScript in theory with new browser versions", because that would prevent anyone from, as an extreme example, changing the sorting algorithm for Array.sort. It's "we will not break you in practice, except in a carefully delineated set of circumstances." (Actually, JS's stability promise is much weaker than that: its stability in practice is decided by browser consensus and market forces rather than a clear set of rules.)
Do you think it's feasible to implement initializer lists in Rust, or there is some language limitation which makes it hard?

I.e. I'd prefer to write:

let v: Vec<i32> = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

Instead of

let v = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
Obama's Work on Climate Change
I thought the battery technology was part of Ex Machina's "20 minutes into the future" world. It didn't seem particularly advanced, as Ava needed daily recharging. So the only unbelievable thing is that Nathan –the story's equivalent of Larry Page– managed to do a ton of AI research on his own.

I agree it's ridiculously implausible, but I'm fine with that in sci-fi as long as it's only done once per story. In fact, many of my favorite stories follow that pattern: Take a normal world and add one radical (or even impossible) piece of technology or magic. Then explore the implications. Vernor Vinge's bobble books (The Peace War and Marooned in Realtime) are an excellent example of this.

The thing that annoys me is when authors don't see an implication of their invention. Or worse, they make their characters use the invention in implausibly limited ways. JJ Abrams is often guilty of both of these.

Not to mention verbosity, and ease of reading and writing. Its syntax is so much less dated. As far as programming languages go, Obj-C definitely "feels" as old as it is.
Yeah. This is what's absolutely missing in many scientific fields, and seems to be the reason for so many results turning out to be utter bullshit (hello, psychology). There's a strong push coming from research community to make this approach, which is known as 'study pre-registration', mandatory.
That's ironic -- The PPO is responsible for protecting other planets from us %, but this discussion is mostly about protecting us from space rocks. They're related, but in some ways they're opposites.

> The BICEP2 team thought they detected gravitational waves with their Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB ) measurements from their Antarctic observatory. By chance the ESA had the Planck observation satellite measuring a broader spectrum. Matching the two observations the BICEP2 measurements were capturing light interference from space dust in-between the observatory and the source.

This is a bit different, though. BICEP2 was claiming a detection of a polarization signal in the cosmic microwave background, which if present, would point to existence of primorial gravitational waves resulting from cosmic inflation. But, as you note, the multi-wavelength observations of Planck (not taken by chance, but part of a carefully planned all-sky survey with somewhat coarser resolution compared to BICEP2) showed that the polarization signal measured by BICEP2 was consistent with foreground dust, rather than primordial gravitational waves.

> If gravitational waves are found, this will be the biggest thing since Smoot and COBE and confirmation of the Gurth Inflation theory.

It will be huge, but the gravitational waves LIGO would detect are not primordial or from inflation, but rather from supernovae and compact binary mergers (neutron star pairs, stellar-mass black hole pairs, etc.). So a LIGO gravitational wave detection would not provide any evidence for or against inflation. But it would tell us a lot about stellar explosions and the evolution of compact binaries.

EDIT: I should note that LIGO could detect or place constraints on some "exotic" gravitational wave sources – cosmic strings, for example.
> Since 1.0, Rust has in fact had multiple significant stable-breaking compiler changes, not to mention that, among other things, adding any new method to a trait or type in the standard library has the potential to cause breakage. The official code stability promise has not been violated by these changes only because it's riddled with exceptions.

This is essentially the same as any other language. Adding a new method to traits or types can also break JavaScript, the other example you gave.

In fact, I know of one such example where code was broken in the wild because of new methods being added, and we did not revert the change. Marijn Haverbeke's winning js1k entry relied on the 4th and 7th letters (or something along those lines) of every CanvasRenderingContext2D method being unique, because it compressed code by renaming the canvas methods with what was then a perfect hash function. A new Firefox version was released months later that added new methods and broke the code. That was deemed an acceptable piece of breakage, and Rust's policies are very similar.

Anyway, the vast majority of breakage that we've seen so far was due to the libcpocalypse. This was an issue with people not specifying specific versions of libraries they depended on, not the language.
It's used out of convenience, and avoiding errors. jQuery selectors are stupidly simple to do complex stuff with. I just wish they had a jQuery.selector distribution.
Battle of the Best Front-End Frameworks: Boostrap vs. Materialize
Obviously not of the same gravity, but a good part of my childhood was spent being called by my big brother's name. Family, friends, teachers, you name it. It's a hard one, because I think my brother is an amazing guy, and evidently so do other people, but it's ultimately belittling.

A math teacher, who had my brother for a single year, called me by his name for the whole three years I knew/had her. By that point, it's not just offending, you just start thinking your identity is just a proxy for the other person's, it's downright depressing.

My brother and I look very much alike, to the point that to the untrained eye we would look like twins at certain points of our lives. Although around my teens, this had some unfortunate consequences, such as girls my age I fancied who would meet my older brother and see a better physical version of me in him, and forget about me. I can't really blame them, but again, not exactly uplifting.

It isn't an issue at all these days, we have very different lives and personalities, we live thousands of miles away, but mostly, my brother is alive and well, and I guess, not famous ; but it's definitely had an effect on me when I was younger.

I guess I came here to relate, but the truth is I can't even begin to imagine the added constant reminder of a deceased relative, no matter how amazing they used to be, or maybe even particularly so. The fact that those reminders are people who, by and large, had nothing remotely resembling a relationship with the person in question, especially not of the kind siblings would, must be incredibly hurtful.

I feel deeply for Noah and I genuinely wish he can affirm his own identity, and that people will make an effort to do so after reading his touching story.
Oh you must be joking. PMs are terrible. And technical people are basically the only ones who actually know how to write things in detailed and unambiguous enough way - it's something you can't really learn without trying and learning just "how dumb computers are" - which actually means, "how many things people implicitly assume to be self-explanatory or common knowledge".

> I don't think the author's point is that technical people can't write clear instructions, it's that technical individuals sometimes mock or deride others over things that "should be obvious".

That I can totally believe. But then again, non-technical people like to do that too - often the "obvious" thing being the one that they conveniently forgot to mention at all.

Why Zapier Doesn't Use Gevent Yet
Saw this in an earlier stage when you were showing off lighting/shading. Very impressive! I know the style isn't for everyone, but personally I love it. Looking forward to future progress :)
You're right, I haven't read the book, the movie was my first exposure to this (unfortunately apparently?). To say it compresses it strongly better words so many of my issues with the movie than I could have put it. (in that it seemed like a series of set pieces attached together by musical interludes; echoing your lack of character development as well)

To answer the question from your other post, my "holy trinity" is Primer, Moon, Pandorum. (the first two on a pedestal above the third, but the third manages to fit in being an "action" movie without going too far down that road such that I can't but love it.)

If we're talking books, that's an entirely different discussion, and seems to be the one most people want to have when bringing up The Martian. I've certainly felt the same about some of my favorites. (I recall the whisper of a Foundation movie that made me want to run and hide)
I'm surprised at this - I run four pfSense boxen; my two homebrew ones on repurposed old machines have both died on me at least once, and the two running on purchased pfSense hardware are still up & running. Anecdote != data and all that, but I'd buy their hardware again if I didn't have a large stack of machines I can reuse for "free." (ahem. free does not count my time or that of my students, but sometimes it's fun to admin things a little.)
Unfortunately, there are certain area of science where there are unexamined biases. Stray too close to there, and they are automatically dismissed as crackpot.

In science, evidence trumps eminence, unless it is something like cold fusion.

If we can measure this "crackpot bias", I am not sure psychedelic research would have as high of a bias as cold fusion, but it might have been closer say, ten or twenty years ago. No one wanted to touch that stuff or could get grants to do such research.

As I said I'm a huge fan of the Startup podcast (and actually all things Alex B). But if you're looking for new angles, why not find a bootstrapping startup.

I bootstrapped a startup and it's a whole different experience that what we heard in season 1 or 2. In both of those seasons, by the time that we "met" the startup they already had crazy awesome connections. When Alex starts pitching Aurelio(!) he starts by pitching Chris Sacca! That's barely representative of any "normal" person who starts a company.

And, we're first introduced to Dating Ring once they've already gotten into YC. Most of the people on HN would kill just to have gotten to that level.

It's a little like having a show about trying to get a great job. But, the person you've decided to follow is currently in Harvard. I'm not saying YC is all fun and games, but it's hardly representative of the experience of most startups.
That does not make it Turing complete.
