> I think Hydrogen Fuel Cells are the future of the automotive world.

It's unlikely.

Hydrogen makes a poor fuel because it's very hard to store. It leaks through almost anything, and embrittles most metal.

It's possible to store, but it's expensive. It's also not very dense, so you need a lot of pressure, which just makes the storage/leakage problem worse.

I think Methane might be the fuel (not energy source) of the future. It has almost all the advantages of hydrogen, with much fewer problems.

The energy source can be something else, so the CO2 emissions of methane are not relevant.

Unrelated, but if we could store mono-atomic hydrogen, that would be something! There is more energy available in hydrogen bonding with itself than with oxygen.
It's curious to see that many pet projects are going public at the same time, all having the same goal of bringing control over the contenteditable madness through a custom data model.

We at CKEditor are going in that exact same direction [1]. We are making a strong switch to the project, wishing to make it a powerful editing framework, just like Draft.js but in a larger scale.

That's probably one of my key focus bands... though I'd probably list:

ISIS — Oceanic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2C8Z1Keluk

ISIS — Panopticon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA2AJIiw0p8

ISIS — In The Absence of Truth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atCKkDusJkc

The latter being a more accessible, earthlier sound (with no growling); yet the former two being the greater works.

Additionally, some classic post-rock masterpieces by GY!BE:

Godspeed You! Black Emperor — F# A# ∞ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy4IsC5eb7o

Godspeed You! Black Emperor — Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZwQeZh6rP0

As a track is named, the former is bleak, uncertain, beautiful; both melancholic and uplifting with despairing wails and wavering cries of tears and joy. The second is the more known GY!BE album, which is just as good.

Nowadays, I just listen to whatever strikes my mood (I can tune most stuff out), but the ones I listed above were particularly good for focusing during essay writing.
Battery life. When you’re already above 300ppi (312ppi for this phone) it becomes progressively less noticeable to go up in resolution for a measurable hit to the battery life.
A fair enough statement:
"The broader availability of [over-the-counter] insulin allows patients with diabetes to obtain it "quickly in urgent situations, without delays," the FDA says, and is intended to increase patient safety."

However, it seems like there are no visible protocols in place to control use in non-emergency situations like with the patient mentioned in the NYTimes article. That's certainly risky for poorer diabetics who don't necessarily know better, or are desperate enough financially to risk the long-term consequences.
In Tim Cook's words, from his latest letter to the employees:

"Some advocates of the government’s order want us to roll back data protections to iOS 7, which we released in September 2013. Starting with iOS 8, we began encrypting data in a way that not even the iPhone itself can read without the user’s passcode, so if it is lost or stolen, our personal data, conversations, financial and health information are far more secure. We all know that turning back the clock on that progress would be a terrible idea."

The last released non-beta iOS is 9.2.

Bill Gates still owns some 13 billions in Microsoft stocks.
Does he feel that Apple should also unlock the 12 other phones the Justice Department is reportedly also filing court orders for?

http://gizmodo.com/justice-department-forcing-apple-to-unloc...
The Justice Department is pursuing court orders to force Apple Inc. to help investigators extract data from iPhones in about a dozen undisclosed cases around the country...

And what about when authorities in the UK also have cases where they "need" phones to be unlocked? And how about China? And every other government in the world that may want to have phones unlocked?
>"It is no different than [the question of] should anybody ever have been able to tell the phone company to get information, should anybody be able to get at bank records,” he said. “Let’s say the bank had tied a ribbon round the disk drive and said ‘don’t make me cut this ribbon because you’ll make me cut it many times’."

Seriously? It's absolutely different (not to mention his ribbon analogy makes no sense at all). I see all of this more a question of "can Americans actually have anything remain private on a commercial device?". I don't want anyone but me to have unfettered access to my data, regardless of if it's phone records, bank info, or my phone's contents.

Here's hoping that the iPhone 7 has a secure enclave that either 1.) deletes keys on firmware flash, or 2.) doesn't allow it to be upgraded ever.
NewEgg only has a couple of warehouses / distribution centers in the USA but one of them is about an hour away from me.

Recently, I needed a new SSD as quickly as possible and placed my order around 23:30 local time. Before noon the next day, I got an e-mail letting me know that it was ready to be picked up. Minus the drive, picking up the package was basically a five minute deal (i.e. out of my vehicle, going in and getting the package, and back into my truck took less than five minutes).

From now on, I'll only order from NewEgg when I need items urgently and am willing to make the two-hour (roundtrip) trek to pick them up, having been burnt by their shipping policy once before.

(Since someone will inevitably ask, I paid out the ass for one-day shipping only to receive my package three days later. Apparently, "one-day" only applies to actual shipping time. The two days my order was being "processed" didn't count.)

Just today, though, I found myself wishing both NewEgg and Amazon (who has their own distribution center very near to NewEgg's) had a walk-in retail storefront nearby. There is a Fry's about 90 minutes away but sometimes I just want to go in and browse and find things I wasn't really looking for or expecting.
Mostly true, but only if refueling doesn't take more than 5 minutes or so. So not necessarily true for battery energy storage.
I assume aaronbrethorst is thinking of gravitational lensing.
This phone absolutely needs to last all day without recharging. Lower resolution displays draw less power and require less power to render to. 1280x720 is reasonable for 4.7": it's 316 ppi. Higher density only offers steeply diminishing returns in image quality, for sharply increased power consumption and a noticeable increase in cost.

Well I have two candidate devices, a Z3 and a Samsung galaxy tab s2. Is there a way to hook up a second screen somehow?
I think you greatly underestimate what it takes to rise to the top of a tech company. Pretending to be an idiot in tech matters doesn't generally work.
Well I'm not afraid myself, but you should talk to people who work at the FBI, homeland security, and the CIA, to see how they view things. Security does matter. When you have large scale events like what is happening in Syria, it becomes an issue of national defense, would you like it or not.

I know that a difference must be made, and not let security have an influence on freedom.
One of the interesting issues here is that national security depends on the corporation decision and the actually corporation can access the information on the device, but does not want to help the government to protect people from potential terrorist attack. FBI does not ask for backdoor codes and does not ask for breaking encryption and does not ask access to unauthorized info—the phone owner granted the permission. The only thing FBI ask is to not brick the phone and not erase the info while it tries different device locking code combination. There is nothing here that would break privacy or encryption.

That's not how the NSA operates. The NSA is not a tech support hotline for the Feds. The NSA has its own mission set which its resources go towards. If it doesn't fall within that mission set, then NSA don't care. This iPhone doesn't fall within that mission set.

So why is Microsoft fighting us.gov regarding access to data stored in another country? Isn't that, to the layman, just another variety of ribbon-wrapped box. Gates should know that, just like extra-jurisdictional data retrieval, signed malware data retrieval is dangerous, bad business and awful precedent. He must publicly set the record straight for his company's stance to have any credibility.

OP/author here, I also have patella tendinitis since I dislocated my patella when I was 17.

This is the reason I started looking at ultrasounds, I figured that I could buy one for the $160 cost to get a scan from a doctor. I have looked around for a cheap ultrasound, but $1100 is far cheaper than I was able to find (I got to about $3k but looked like a dodgy dealer so didn't link to it). But 1k is still way more expensive than I think it should be.

It should be a sensor you just plug into and iphone for a few hundred. I mean there is the http://www.thermal.com/thermal-cameras/ thermal camera for only $250, why not ultrasound? Making a photo sensor must be thousands of times more complicated than ultrasounds sensors.

I just want to know why I can't buy one cheaper than my massively more complex iphone :)
It seems odd to me too considering my native language is my weaker language. English is my second language but I flow better in it than I do Spanish... Odd. I'm better translating Spanish to English than the other way around, and yet still so many words lose me in Spanish so it gets harder for me.

I disagree with Gates on this one, I think in the US that has common law legal systems, setting the precedent by unlocking (if possible) the iphone in question would be disastrous.

> hard do folks think it would be to make a C -> Rust transpiler

Easy. But it won't be too useful.

Rust isn't a compiler that magically finds memory errors. Transpiling C code to Rust will not find those memory errors unless you have a really good transpiler that can detect the overall structure and design of the C code. It will just give you a ton of Rust error messages; probably none of which relate to an actual memory error. (Or you transpile to `unsafe` rust, in which case, what was the point?).

Rust works with a set of rules, and these rules enforce some things in your programming/software design style. This enforced style (i.e. the discipline around memory usage) is what gets us memory safety. This style is not the same as the style used in programming C/C++; so a dumb transpilation won't work. You need to write a transpiler that can figure out what logic the code (and not just for a function, for a larger unit) was trying to encode, and write that in Rust. That's ... a nontrivial problem to solve with a transpiler, probably requiring AI skills. It's a mostly trivial thing to do as a human, since mostly such "transpilation" involves noticing a few key issues (related to highly-shared structs and whatnot) and fixing them (leaving most of the code the same).

Exactly my stance. Especially after setting DDG as the default search engine it is possible to directly search for an address or a translation via the address bar by

- "!gm [address]"

- "!dictcc smorgasbord"

That is pretty neat.

Interesting. Eye is "oko" (same as in Polish), a man is Jan ("John"/"Ian" in Polish), a hand is "luka" ("ręka" or "renka" in Polish, "ruka" in Russian), a leg is "noka" ("noga"), a mouth is "uta" ("usta") etc.

Note that "originalist" means what they WROTE, quite literally, not what they MEANT.

So if there was a typo, or misunderstood language, "originalist" means to literally enforce the mistake in the document.

> That's what you're buying with all this "Entrepreneuring". The ability to replace your old income with a new one that doesn't necessarily require you to work full time for it.

I cannot possibly agree more strongly with this. While I still have an internal fire that wants to put a couple more commas in my bank balance, the ability to experience life however and whenever you want to is, once found, not easily let go.

My wife (a teacher) and I live abroad, and the nature of her work means she has effectively ~90 days of paid vacation (not including weekends) each year. I'm not certain what our life would be like if I were still an executive, but I'm sure that our relationship wouldn't be as strong without the shared experiences that come from being able to take advantage of that time in a meaningful way.

worse. If this becomes "normal", then rather than the CTO or CSO or VP iOS Engineering having to unlock the code-signing keys to sign releases (presumably via N of M), it'll have to be automated so that "oh, the FBI needs another custom build for the 4th time this week, just do the build and click here to sign it". At that point the security of the master code-signing keys has evaporated to nothing and we're all sunk.

> Part of what makes Rust awesome is it forces correct...architecture.

If you believe that, and follow it, then you will end up with a lousy architecture. A correct architecture cannot be designed without knowledge of the problem domain.

That's the problem with security too: if you believe the language will keep you safe, and stop thinking about security, your software will be less secure than before. There's plenty of insecure Java code out there.
Because people are allowed to have their own opinion? I don't agree with him, but I certainly don't base my opinion on this matter on the general sentiments in Silicon Valley.

Both of those people would be equally unacceptable as a professional translator. It's true that #2 would be better if those were your only two options, but that's an unrealistic limitation.

A guy who is 99% fluent in source and 100% fluent in target will generally produce a flawless translation--if he happens across a word or idiom in the source that he doesn't quite understand, it will stand out to him, and he will pause to research it before continuing.

A guy who is 100% fluent in source and 99% fluent in target will produce a perfectly clear but very slightly stilted translation, because he's not aware of the few mistakes that he makes.

If you're translating a commercial product and you have my two guys to choose between, you would want #1.

Thanks for the tip about Shop Runner. I hadn't heard of it before now but a quick look shows a couple of stores listed that I order from often enough that it will make the -- free (thanks AmEx!) -- membership worth signing up for.

I recently (during 4Q15) built myself a new server and ordered nearly everything from Amazon (with the exception of ordering half of the SSDs and HDDs from NewEgg, and picking up a spare one of each from a nearby Fry's).

I chose to order from Amazon both because of the free two-day (Prime) shipping and also because I had a new Discover card. In 4Q, Discover gives you 5% back on purchases on Amazon. In addition, at the end of the first year, they double all your cash back. Thus, in effect, I got an extra 10% discount off of all my Amazon purchases during 4Q (which added up to a few thousand dollars), although I won't "see" it until basically the end of 2016.

Did this guy actually buy the beach itself? If so, people should get off his lawn - it's his property and this America.

If not, then I imagine there's just a road going through his property. I tend to think of the streets as being publicly owned: The city should consider paving an alternate access route to the beach and paying for its maintenance out of the local property taxes.

That said, it's common for cities to have codes governing parking and such, and it's plausible to me that guaranteeing access to a beach is along the same lines. It seems weird to force him to maintain the road though.
