I don't think there's a data center there, it's probably just where all nodes in Germany end up which don't have more accurate geolocation.
That was distinctly not the case when I learned Latin. Though it does explain the origin of that mindset.
The other word to play with is "mass", who is to say what is or isn't mass.
This reminds me a bit of Prudio http://www.prudio.com/ Saw that project on the old assembly site (was a cool idea).
What's really scary to me is that very, very few defendants actually go to trial in the US. For a variety of troubling reasons[1], most defendants take a plea bargain.

I would guess the risks associated with planting evidence and other misconduct by police is pretty low when you use it to coerce a plea. There's not any sort of venue to expose it.

It could absolutely be done as NICS: rather than a phone call, plug your form 4473 info into a website. Once they do the check, it emails you the code which is good for N days. Your seller then just verifies the code on the ATF website and checks that your ID matches the name for the code. It would be more convenient for everyone, including the ATF employees.
'The doors also did not open with the speed or symmetry that Tesla required, including when a prototype vehicle was parked at an incline or when the system was exposed to extreme temperatures. Hoerbiger's doors also “sagged” beyond Tesla's specified tolerance levels.' - I wonder if the vehicle was parked at a longitudinal or lateral incline. I would understand if the problem was noticed in the latter.
It's probably not just oil, but rather a general reduction of risk from investors. People are worried about the global economic climate and are pulling their money out of stocks and putting it into more predictable, dependable assets like gold and treasury bonds, which tend to have much lower yields but also much less risk of tanking in value during bad times.
Right! Longhorn; totally forgot about that and WinFS. Talk about a failed endeavour...

WinRT however is definitely not a replacement for Win32. It's way too sandboxy (last time I checked, you couldn't even pull up a list of fonts installed on the host system using the WinRT APIs only).
> I write blog posts from time to time and I do it for pleasure because I enjoy writing about things that interest me and sharing it with others.

I do the same thing, but I realized a while back there is a flaw in this model. It means the available creative works—which in turn effectively means the engine of culture—is determined almost entirely by people who are well-off enough to have the free time to do that.

I don't have "free" time. I paid for that time by buying a more expensive house close to where I work, spending less time shopping by not chasing the best deal, paying others to do home and car repairs, etc. etc. etc.

People who aren't as financially lucky as me don't have that opportunity. I'm not crazy about the idea of living in a world where those people don't get to participate in determining culture.
I found your rewards levels pretty interesting. For anyone who didn't look at the page:

Similar to smart phone’s data plan, OneCook offers meal plan if you want. Generally, the more food packages and longer period you purchase from our platform, the lesser cost your device will be. For example an unlocked device is $299 but a 12-month meal plan makes the device cost only $99. We recommend you to use our food packages because they come paired with our ready-to-use recipe programs. It saves your time to shop, chop and prepare food. However this is optional, you can still use your own ingredients. If you select a meal plan, each week you will spend at least $25 on our food packages, which equals to 3-4 one serving meals. Of course, similar to your data plan, you can cancel your meal plan to have an unlocked device anytime you want, as long as you pay the cancellation fee depending on the rest period of your meal plan.

Is it not possible to cancel your meal plan?
You make a good point. I think some of those checks - the CRB for instance, are undoubtedly good things. I wish that the black cabs would move on and require operators to have GPS devices and not rely on "The Knowledge". Impressive as it is, in my experience it results in longer routes and often relies on the passenger knowing where they are going.

The main sticking point though must be the fares though - black cabs are significantly more expensive than Uber, and this is the main reason they are losing business IMO. I would be interested to see a breakdown of why the fares are more. Is it simply more money in the pockets of the drivers? Or does the extra money pay for better vehicles, insurance, training, taxes etc?
I'm puzzled by how a planet this big could form in an orbit so distant.

The fact that the material in that region is so spread out and the orbital period of such object is so long matters.

I would love to read some thoughts on that.
As stock market valuations of recently public companies like Square go, so do private market valuations of pre-IPO companies.

The US suicide rate is about 12 per 100,000 per year, the UK's is about 6, Canada's is 10, Germany's is 9, France's is 12, looks like we are on the high end even if it's not totally consistent.

As for banning burgers and the rest, that's a totally separate question. One of the major problems with the American gun control debate is that all sides completely fail to separate questions of fact from questions of principle. The question of what effect a particular gun law will have is completely separate (although it may inform) the question of whether enacting that law is the right thing to do.

To say that it's better not to certain gun laws even though it would save lives, because the freedom is more important, is perfectly reasonable. But we have to actually figure out the "it would save lives" part first to get to that point in the discussion. If the law doesn't even work then you might as well not bother with the rest.
I'm rewriting nothing. I have no dog in this fight. I'm not in California. I'm not gay. I'm not currently married.

I am reminding people of a recently unpopular truth.

Prop 8 only happened because of judicial activism on the issue.

Notice that in states where the voters legalized same sex "marriage", there was no similar backlash.
What's depressing is that I think most of us would agree that America's best days are not the current era, therefore they must be in the past or future. :(

Absolutely. My problem was that of how to market something like this.

I have no clue how to do so, and the 2 people that contacted me fizzled after initial contact. I know I did get it in Hackaday, where there was a a bit of a spat between the "cool" and "evil" factions regarding this area. ( http://hackaday.com/2015/03/04/face-recognition-for-your-nex... )

It's also why I wanted a server/client architecture, where each machine can handle face tracking (of a face, not a specific face) and then upload that image to the server, where it is processed for "whom" it is. I wanted the interface to be a clean HTML5 app, where I am now able to bring something pretty to market.

With that setup, I could be feeding in data from 80 cameras in a beefy server and keep on chugging nicely.

Largest known prime number discovered in Missouri
I'm not sure what you're getting at. There was no blood under the hood, so obviously there was a difference source for that DNA.

The key to the car was found in Avery's room in clear sight (after it had been searched 7 times already). The key was scrubbed clean, and only Avery's DNA was present, but not blood. No fingerprints. At any point a piece of his clothing could have been used (or a toothbrush) to rub some DNA on it. Same for the car hood. Trivial to plant when you have access to somebody's DNA. At any point during the search somebody could have picked up one of his socks, walked to the car, rubbed it wherever and walked away.

I'm not saying it definitely happened this way, just that it would have been easy to do for anybody with access. While the article goes to lengths to claim that the documentary leaves out important evidence, but arguments they use to support that claim don't hold water. Their primary argument about the hood latch DNA contains a factual error and the assertion about planting the evidence being 'nearly impossible' is absurd. And that is apparently the best argument they have about the documentary being biased...

Yeah, but would spaceX have made their life-saving deal with NASA if we were in war-times? I couldnt imagine such an expenditure during world war 2.

The fall of America is not just a noteworthy individual experience, it also heralds the potential collapse of pax Americana which has framed innovation for the last half century.
If it can add top class security / anti tracking / anti fingerprinting, it would become far more compelling.
Thanks for posting that (although I didn't see any benchmarks).

My big problem with the first article was that in my experience, the extra registers available in 64-bit make all the difference in the world. In the comments for the article you posted, he says that isn't true with VS. Surprising, but I'll take his word for it.

Still, it bothers me that he keeps talking about 4 GB of code and data should be enough. VS becomes pretty unusable for me around 1.5 - 2 GB. If it worked reliably up to the 4 GB limit, I'd be happier.
For better or worse (mostly the latter) we pretend to have separation of church and state, but certainly do not.

Being reminded of this, manages to deeply offend many people on both sides. If we don't talk about it, its not a problem, right? (LOL)

So, like it or not, government marriage = Christian marriage and Christians are going to be really offended at the government redefinition of their religious institution. Just like Jews would be annoyed if the IRS enforced changes in the Bar Mitzvah or the FAA decided to enforce changes in the Mormon baptism for the dead ritual.

The gay marriage people really screwed up there, intentionally or not. Should have done it in two far less controversial steps, one step to get the government once and for all out of the church, and then once church and state are separated, there would be no religious component to changing the state definition of marriage, much as there's very little religious animosity on the topic of obscure trust inheritance law or modifications to building codes.

Gay people seem to have little empathy for religious people. I'm not religious and even I have more empathy for them than the gay people do. I can assure you Christians believe in their religion just as strongly as progressives believe in their religion of progressivism.
I never said it did. I'm not sure it's useful for defense to get the first word, though, since the entire point of the defense is to rebut the prosecution.
Yeah, but it'd be a silly requirement, and would make syncing upstream changes to your fork needlessly difficult. My point is the Firefox branding stuff does not apply to the source code of forks.
AP is a member-owned organization (owned by national/regional papers), that's why they can't really go direct to consumers. NPR is the same way. NPR's board is owned by member stations, which is why you only hear Morning Addition and All Things Considered either on terrestrial radio or co-branded with the stations on NPR One. You won't see NPR distributing a full podcast of either shows. The governance model is tied to the old method of local distribution and at odds with the way the Web works.
One point that is glossed over, and that destroys the whole foundation of the article: the filmmakers started filming the doc 12 years ago when he was acquitted after the DNA test. They just naturally followed him around, and happened to be at the right place at the right time when the murder charges came along.

So no, the makers did not just wake up one day after the conviction and tried to make him innocent. They were there the whole time.
I have been meaning to ask you. What's the rationale behind allowing prosecution to have two different theories for two different trials for the same crime? How was this precedent set? Do you personally agree with it?
It could have formed closer to the sun in the early stages of our solar system, and been flung out into a more irregular orbit after that.
Right and last year it was full of Windows 8 horror stories and the years before that it was full of Windows 7 horror stories. In other news - StackOverflow.com is full of programming problems so programming must suck. Point being - /r/sysadmin is where people go to complain and ask questions.

Also, it's empirically verifiable, not an anecdote - that Windows 10 runs all the same apps that I've been able to run for decades on previous versions of Windows without issue. That's what I call rock solid.
The biggest downside to meteor for me is that nobody has settled on a good way to use it in production.

We currently have a meteor app in production and it has a few large clients running off of <$100/mo in server. A majority of our production costs are a large amount of redundancy and backups, not the actual server the clients connect to.

With docker it can be very simple to deploy meteor apps as release mode meteor is just a standard node.js app. It takes us about a minute to go from dev->staging (and less for stage->prod as the image is already built). Depending on your app, you can get away with a fairly tiny server (2 cores, 1-2gb ram is fine for demo/pilot).

Starter docker file (note: this is designed to be simple vs best):

FROM node:0.10
ADD meteor.tar.gz /meteor
RUN (cd /meteor/bundle/programs/server && npm install)
EXPOSE 80
CMD ["node", "/meteor/bundle/main.js"]
#Put your meteor.tar.gz file in the same folder as this (name this as Dockerfile), then build and run. Will bind onto port 80
#Build Command: docker build -t meteor-prod ./
#Run command: docker run -d --restart=always -e MONGO_URL=YOUR_MONGO -e PORT=80 -e ROOT_URL=http://YOUR_EXTERNAL_HOST -p 80:80 meteor-prod

Consider the framing of the article, using a tv show to describe the reality of the past. Is there more than a vanishingly small percentage of people who have ever lived as a sitcom portrays?

With such an intellectually bankrupt start, and remember, this is a framing device meant to set your opinion on a guided track, what could we actually expect to get from this article?
I think that people are far too pessimistic and have lost sight of the end goal.

The goal is not to create productivity. The goal is to create leisure. And, so far, we've done a really shitty job of that.
Your definition of minor is vastly different than mine.
Everything is down. This is almost certainly related to macro signals and not Square itself. Smaller cap stocks tend to have higher volatility and will normally take a heavier beating than larger cap ones.
I think you are confusing things.

The problem is not to compute S=10^(3 * 10^10). In fact, we have already computed it. The problem that you originally discussed was waiting (at most) S steps until we can be sure that the finite state-machine either stops or runs forever. I assumed 10^9 steps per second. Thus, the waiting time would be approx. 10^10^9 years.

Wikipedia has a nice discussion on the topic with a quote by Marvin Minsky [1]:

"Minsky warns us, however, that machines such as computers with e.g., a million small parts, each with two states, will have at least 2^1,000,000 possible states:
'This is a 1 followed by about three hundred thousand zeroes ... Even if such a machine were to operate at the frequencies of cosmic rays, the aeons of galactic evolution would be as nothing compared to the time of a journey through such a cycle'"

Computationally they are the same. Both levels of difficulty are : not possible in general. In special cases they would be algorithmic solutions and the connections in an RNN are just as well defined as statements and function calls in a procedural program.
I've only ever seen three of those in my entire life, they're all locked in a cabinet behind me gathering dust. On the other hand I paid for something with Square just yesterday and as my card was being swiped the lady said "We're excited because we're suppose to get the new Chip reader from Square next week."

This is actually a SPA and a bunch of strung together jQuery. But things subjectively feel "faster" compared to what the site was like before they upgraded to this model.
I think its more on point to say when people are overwhelmed by what is happening around them they get distressed. We are the first generation is information saturated. There is so much out there waiting to be found and so much flooding in that many only focus on the extremes of what they receive.
Well, good job everyone--you made life miserable for him, and now the web is going to get even worse. Since, you know, this is going to validate what are effectively subscriptions to websites not to be pestered to death.

I take issue with the assertion that ad-blocking will break the backbone of the web: it's just been such an easy thing to do that people have built so much garbage around it and bloated up so much while offering actual users little in exchange that to finally kill it off is seen as impossible.

It's like this bizarro world where Stockholm syndrome has kicked in and everybody thinks that ads are somehow needed to keep the economy turning (which they aren't, because we can find things via search and whatnot) and that they actually delight people (which they don't, because they ruin the design integrity of most sites).

Like, we've got a gigantic industry built on adtech and user tracking--and once, the Southern US had a large farming industry based on slave labor. Neither is the "natural" order of things, and neither is anything but the exploitation of people.
When you just look at the website it is easy to forget just how much current affairs content the BBC produces. Across TV and radio their are numerous news programs with different skews. News Night or PM can sound completely different to Breakfast or Five Live. I would rather individual programs are allowed to show bias as long as the output in general is balanced. It is ridiculous that every single program acts like it is the only thing the viewer will ever watch.
Good for them. I think putting a cubesat to orbit is under $100k these days.

Was thinking an EM railgun (either from ground or from a plane flying as high as it can) could probably put a nanosat type payload to orbit for much less.

My guess is there will be a lot more satellites (and eventually debris) in orbit in the coming decades.
>it was so cold my phone actually shut down

how does that work? I've never heard of electronics shutting down due to cold. Well, at least not due to cold temperatures that a human can resist.

How do you know it was due to the cold? could it be that some water condensed inside the phone or something?

I'm genuinely curious since I've never heard this statement before.

> It's not clear how they could use that blood to place DNA under the hood of the car without it testing positive for blood.

They had full control of his entire property for more than 8 days. They had access to his bedroom for that entire time. It would be trivial to just grab a used sock and swipe it on the latch.
If the tech bubble bursts I'm not sure who is going to be buying the $15, undersized lunches that the new wave of food trucks is flooding the market with.

This is all too common with the NY Times.
Manipulation, yes. Unethical, maybe? (when you look at its effect in aggregate)

Honestly I just want all the advertising (be it physical (signage, billboards, smells, etc) or digital) to get out of my environment. It's almost always noise and it's ugly. There's no reason we couldn't build a hyper-connected system where if I'm looking for something, I can find it.

I want socks? Ok, how many sock stores are local? Ok, what are these made of and who is their supplier, and how does their supplier get their product? (I don't want to support sweat-shop labor or non-sustainability, especially if I'm buying socks.) How have other people found these socks to work?

I should be able to find what I need, which includes being able to understand how that product came to be (transparency). Products shouldn't find me. Ads are noise and we've got enough of that as it is. Would Nike, selling socks, be as successful when all is considered? I'd like to think humans care more for their home and, taking away all the psychological manipulation of ads, could begin to choose how to spend their money more intelligently. A man can dream...

EDIT: To me your question raises the problem we should solve, which advertising kinda solves damn poorly. Get people who need something in touch with the people who can provide that something, and make it transparent for both parties as much as possible.
Information like "products X, Y, and Z from these manufacturers now solve these problems" or "band Q is visiting your city soon" can be presented in a non-manipulative manner, but current ads go beyond information into manipulation using emotion, repetition, ear worms, and social pressure.

You make a very valid point. I think there are other solutions to this problem.... strangely I had already just decided to make it the topic of my next post before reading your comment.

Also imho micro-payments won't solve that problem. It is a much deeper structural problem.
Yes, in the short term scheme of things. The bigger news is the long-term trend and the crossing of the psychological IPO threshold.
