Ted Cruz's linguistic chutzpah
They use Bitcoin due to its granularity (1 Satoshi = 0.0000040352 USD) and because users can mine a small trickle of new money easily with the hardware they have designed. But mainly because it's much easier than bootstrapping users onto a new payments network from scratch.

Yes, you could design a new micropayments system denominated in dollars with electronic wallets that would piggyback off card and bank payment networks, but you would add latency in flushing (admittedly negligible) amounts to your bank, and if your service became large enough, credit card providers would probably disallow you from using their infrastructure to deposit billions of tiny amounts into micropayment wallets, which would generate a lot of overhead and fees for a relatively small transaction volume.

Seems to me that the reason this micropayment startup doesn't exist is because it wouldn't solve any pressing problem at the moment.

EPUB is, without any doubts, my preferred ebook format. I knew it was an open format standard, but I have never taken a look at what's under its hood. After I took a look at this presentation, I'm going to dedicate this evening to exploring the format, its advantages and its disadvantages.

Unfortunately, I am not able to find any reasonably good looking Linux client for it, so I usually use ebook-convert command that comes with Calibre to convert my books from PDF to EPUB and vice versa.
Well, I'm really defending the rule of law, not Elsevier. I fully support the current trend towards open access journals. But open access journals don't involve systematic copyright infringement.

> Being a real journalist is a far more creative work then being a programmer

At this point, there should be a name for "No True Scotsman" applied to creativity. I have a tough time seeing the comparison between someone reporting what actually went on to someone creating wholly new things. I actually don't want creativity in my journalists or historians. I want ethics and fact checking.
Google maps isn't free from these problems. This past autumn it routed a lot of people down an impassable sandy desert road that serves a state prison. So many people were thus diverted that there was a line of stuck cars in the middle of nowhere.
Thanks for the upvote. The front page is quite bloated so I'll take the blame for that. The backend also uses a few third party javascript libraries.

The best way to describe the service is as a combined Content Management System and Hosting Service for Jekyll sites. Here's a few of the features in more detail.

* Multi-Site management

* Template Editor - A code editor[1] to manage partials, layouts, pages, etc.

* Template Picker - Ability to pick from a handful of Jekyll themes and the ability to import from any public git repository.

* A Markdown Editor for Posts - Markdown is parsed on the fly so you can see a rough preview (Not styled to the theme).

* Site Previews - You can preview the sites before publishing them to the public. Can be considered somewhat of a staging environment.

* Media Uploader - A very simple media uploader for images. Media can be inserted into posts easily.

* Private Git Repositories for each site - You can add your public ssh key to be able to clone the sites and develop locally.

* Hosting - (Paid service) Hosting is backed by CDN enabled Rackspace CloudFiles. Deploying sites is just a simple click.

Goals:

* Support for other static site generators besides Jekyll, such as Hugo, Middleman, Pelican, etc.

* Support for Collections[2]

* Expand Open Source Project - The project basically allows anyone to run their own "Statixite" and configure their own deployment/hosting solution.

* Expand templates (Thanks Jekyll theme authors!)

* Hope to get feedback from the community :)

You might very well be right, and I agree that the Republican base would prefer that the Senate just doesn't bother to consider a nominee until after the election.

However, my impression is that independent voters prefer action to inaction and typical behavior to atypical, and will be susceptible to 'the Senate is refusing to do its job' arguments from the President and the Democratic presidential nominee, as well as 'Supreme Court appointments are usually approved in XX days' arguments from the press.

We shall see.

Back in the summer I found an oddity on the map what I wanted to explore for the sake of it. It was on the way back from a customer's house and I had the rest of the afternoon off, so it was great timing.

I navigated the waypoints and tracks as the map directed but one of the track's surfaces was degenerating beyond practical travel. I didn't mind a bit of mud, but didn't feel like drowning :-)

After another bend, it was clear the mud wasn't getting better. I turned round and headed back home, as the alternate routes weren't really practical. This story ends with not a lot happening.

I find stories such as the headline, and others in the comments, are very difficult to relate to. I suppose this is because I take in information I see in real-time and allow myself to make decisions on the fly. I'm sure there's a part of the brain involved which must be inhibited in some way that allows blind following of instruction, be it made by a device or other way.

These sorts of things make me depressed about the industry. It seems like so many fantastic ideas in the 80's (what you just described, erlang, smalltalk, etc, etc) were lost to the corporate dominance of sun and java. While java has certainly introduced some neat ideas, I can't help but wonder what the industry would be like if things had gone the other way.

Maybe I'm just looking at the past with rose colored glasses, but even using some of these languages today, they're still super compelling and elegant.

The article briefly mentions VOA Bethany Station. That site was impressive to say the least. The tops of the antennas would peek over the hills as you traveled north on I75 from the Cincinnati suburbs, coming into full view as you passed Tylersville Rd. It was sad to see such a historic site disappear, and of course now it's a complex of chain stores and restaurants like every other recently developed chunk of land in the Midwest.
That's not really true, is it? Coupling is independent from explicit code dependencies. Take, for instance, two programs. One writes to "/tmp/file". The other reads from "/tmp/file" but neither shares the code to determine the path ("/tmp/file", in this case). They're code independent, but very tightly coupled.

In fact, I'd hypothesise that copy-paste codebases are more tightly coupled than otherwise.
In the Western US, there are a lot of roads that range between unpaved but well-graded and generally fine for passenger car use to serious high-clearance 4WD in good weather only. In my experience, Google Maps doesn't routinely send you down seriously questionable roads. But, if you drive around those areas, it behooves you to really understand the range of roads out there and be properly cautious rather than blindly depending on GPS--or, for that matter, a map.

The biggest problem is really that a lot of people come from areas where road is 99% equivalent to passable by passenger car under most to all weather conditions and seasons. That's just not the case in many places, e.g. Death Valley.
Ask HN: How do you stay in touch with friends who are dying?
Not exactly HN question...

I would like to know, what channels do you use to communicate with your friends or family who have a terminal diagnosis? How often do speak with them - do you find that enough and would they like more contact?

What about after someone passes away? Would you like more support from the people around you?

Have you ever felt bad for not beeing supportive enough when the loved one of a close friend passed away?
Too much? (Limit approaches infinity?)
Fundamentally, address decoders are made to operate with binary inputs. That constrains the scope of what they address to powers of 2. With large capacity storage that becomes less relevant as they are overprovisioned with some redundant capacity, but in reality such devices are implementing Nx2^M storage, not Nx10^M.

That's interesting stuff. I wonder how the algorithms work, they have to be pretty fast if they're running on the printer itself.

Also, slightly unrelated, but this for some reason reminded me of a certain issue some copiers had a while back, where they would swap certain numbers/letters for some reason when copying. Don't really remember what the cause of that was, though.
It is, but it doesn't suffer from some SysV issues.

The title says they're liberal, but then the first sentence says they're illiberal. The American political vernacular is truly a tragedy, and this consistent butchering of "liberal" to mean anything besides what is now in the U.S. called "classical liberal" is unfortunately starting to spread outside of its former confines as a US-only definition.

Then again, neither are American conservatives anything like Burkean conservatives.

Tech is small potatoes in the global financial system, and the losers in a unicorn bubble burst are a small set of private investors. I doubt there will be any bailout for tech, nor will there be any major hangover like the dot-com bust. Rather, a few entrepreneurs and investors who made bad bets will exit the market, and their places will be taken by new entrepreneurs and investors who were more prudent. Capitalism at its finest.

If we're predicting upcoming bailouts from this crash, I would bet on U.S. oil companies and everything big in China. China could potentially cause a massive earthquake in international trade.

The student-loan bubble is also a massive debt overhang that could cause huge repercussions, but I don't see a trigger that would cause it to burst.
interesting, thanks
Adsense bidding is going to offer advertisers advertising options based user profiles which are somehow anonymized. So it's not a case of falling into a "cluster": even though I'm a typical male in other respects, the strong correlation of certain pages/searches with particular gender-specific interests swamped everything else and made me apparently attractive to a new set of advertisers.

Pharmacists in small towns are often first in line for people to seek medical advice from, often for small things: chit chat about their cough, show a nasty bruise or ugly cut, a weird rash, etc... They're like doctors-lite, a listening ear, but with some authority, and some agency to suggest minor treatment. Not unlike nurses. And usually a pharmacist could recognize when something is more serious and refer somebody to a doctor.

I grew up in such a town, and as a kid, I knew the pharmacist a lot better than the family doctor: "my ma told me to ask you about this wart on my hand", that kind of thing. Heck, our pharmacists even did home deliveries to old people (on her bike, no joke). I'm in a my mid-thirties, so this is not entirely ancient history.

So I can see why that social aspect of the work - which is incredible valuable - cannot be automated.

Now, there's WebMD, pharmacists are doing a shift in CVS, "small town life" is pretty much dead, these soft relationships between shopkeepers and customers no longer exist, people no longer defer to authority as easily as they used to, ...

Also, pharmacists have the law on their side. Drugs are a political issue, so they nurture their role as gate-keeper. For that reason alone, the credentialing will persist. The only difference is that perhaps a pharmacist will just be the lady pushing the on/off button on the vending machine, but still, somebody will need to push that button. The jobs that will be automated won't be the pharmacist's job, it will be the assistant's jobs.

Hum, nope. Solid state memory is inherently built in powers of 2. Since addressing is a big part of the chip, and addressing is inherently at powers of 2, making them in any other way would be wasteful.

Hard disks aren't inherently divided in cylinders, sectors and plates. Those come in several different distribution, without the power of 2 bias. Flash memory comes in powers of 2, but flash drivers reserve some of it, thus flash drivers are inherently a little bit smaller than a power of 2.
ABS and PLA are already heavily used in making toys, so they'd be no more dangerous than any other toy on the market.

I'm only guessing, but it's probably a nuance of the technology. The earlier weapons used cavitation created by the dart's blunt tip to stabilize it and give it range below the surface. The last gun uses a gas bubble to create a supercavitation [1] effect, which based on my quick skimming of the linked Wiki article, seems to be more effective at greater depth.

Anyone with a more thorough (read: any) understanding of fluid dynamics is encouraged to correct or expand this.

Late last year a friend of mine was involved in a car accident.

The other driver was following the Google Maps directions on their phone which told them to go down a one way street, it just happened to be the wrong direction. Luckily no one was hurt.

People really need to pay attention when they drive and read the road signs. Just because the GPS says to go down a street, doesn't mean you are allowed to go down it the wrong way.
But these days, PulseAudio just works. No one has come up with a good alternative. Especially not one with the same features and level of integration. Couldn't it be that audio is just not that easy to get right, and Pulse is taking the flak because it's working on an impossible problem no one else works on? Like there hasn't really been any improvement in sysvinit in the last two decades?

I'm also not happy with the "those who actually use the software" in the article. I use systemd. I love systemd. It's been rock solid for my servers and desktops, its easier to use than sysvinit and it has features that I love that other systems don't have.

Also I disagree with the "unaccountable cliques of developers" thing. All important distros have independently decided to go with systemd. The people creating the distros and making that decision are the people that have to work with systemd most, and most directly. They are the experts. Compared to them, the author of the article is not.

TL;DR: My audio works out of the box now thanks in part to Lennart Poettering, so what are you talking about.
