Congestion is often handled via "stacking" aircraft in a pattern like you see in the image, separated for safety and timing of approach. There may well be other aircraft in the stack but not reported via that site or there may be just the one at that time. In either case, the apparent reroute suggests more than congestion.

(For the record: I am not a professional pilot but I have flown and have family who are commercial aviators going on some 40 years.)
Rasmus built a tool while he was at Y! called Scanmus which doing automated probing. I've seen him demo it to students while we were giving classes at universities. It's amazing how eye opening that experience can be.

P.s. no you can't have a copy of Scanmus
P.p.s if you are really curious just Google the name

I wonder if they turn off, or downgrade to the point of unusable, the servers the day that Assasin's Creed III is launched?

They wouldn't do that would they?
In a couple cases, I know that to be the truth. You're basically looking at the results of getting PC LAN developers to implement Internet protocols, and getting Win32 systems programmers to implement encryption.
the flight number is what was left unchanged between several flights, thus they appear as one.

leaving transponder code unchanged after request by ATC is a serious violation.
Yes. (Though the graphic could have been a web-site instead, that allowed copy-and-paste and screenreader-acces for the blind.)
It looks like the OP should re-read the patent.

Thank you freetard, that was insightful.

That's an activity that can be public or only be viewed by your friends. People can participate by doing the same activity (retweeting or replying).

In this patent, "News Items" are different from status updates, which would be considered "actions". The related art section of the patent discloses that users of social networks can already see direct actions of other users, and the utility of this patent is to filter this list to dampen the noise. A more apt example would be twitter providing a list of people who have been recently followed by people that you are following, with the option of clicking the news item to also follow this new person.
All jets should have it by now, most turboprops and GAs don't.
"Stop worrying about the users; if they want to keep getting paid, they'll use it."
If you have enough money to keep a single developer on staff, you have orders of magnitude more budget than it takes to license a copy of Burp Suite. Burp is the de facto pen testing industry standard, and it's a fantastic QA tool in general. If you have a product and you don't know about Burp, you should buy it pretty much immediately.
John Scalzi: How creative work creates jobs
Of course I'm not saying that, I even included a parenthetical to make it explicit -- you have higher temperature gradations on a planet than in a glass of water -- it's always hot in the tropics, always cold at the poles. But you still have an average.

The answer to your second question is that no legitimate scientists have doubts about whether the temperature's rising. It's an established fact.

What's uncertain is how much CO2 is related to the rising temperature. They correlate, CO2 is a greenhouse gas and it makes intuitive sense, but it's not "proven" and to certain levels of "proof", is impossible to prove because there's billions of confounding factors like sunspots, water vapor etc.

You're probably confusing this with uncertainty over whether the temperature is rising (which is proven), because paid shills and ideologues (who get paid in emotional satisfaction) deliberately conflate the issue. Confusion is on their side -- educating people will probably hurt their argument, even if they're right.
Thank you for the correction! That's an excellent point.

It will be interesting to see what happens, for sure. My sense is this: Apple has hit on something with iPad that is similar to what Nintendo has found with Wii. That is, a whole base of users -- perhaps comparable in size to the current market! -- that actively ignores the existing offerings as much as they possibly can because they dislike them. These things that we love, they hate! So, inasmuch as they can give those users an experience they enjoy (in contrast to what they're used to), I think they'll be very successful.

They're clearly very confident in the user interface and surrounding factors they've built. From my anecdotal experience of the types of people who I think are likely to represent the largest market for the iPad (and unlikely to buy anything else except reluctantly, if they must), Apple's control of the App Store thus far is utterly irrelevant. Perhaps it "should" be relevant to them. And perhaps I "should" know more about how my car works or how the vegetables at my local supermarket were grown/transported. But I don't.

Now, if users find themselves frustrated, feeling left out because their friends are enjoying Flash apps that they can't, that could be a problem.

The question, then, is: how many of these users will be willing to give up their iPads — and all the apps that are exclusive to it — for a computer and all the hassles that come with it?

I don't understand how passion for programming/software dev/hacking in general means that its your only focus in the workplace or a signal that you should be taken advantage of.

I'm passionate about programming because I am passionate about making stuff. I'm not very handy(carpentry, etc), so in this case a computer, editor and programming language scratches that itch.

Contrary to the post I think that this is a fairly good indicator of how I am in the workplace and why I work for a (what a believe to be)cool startup. It gives me an opportunity to scratch this itch at work so when I am there it has my full effort/attention.
Summary: side-effect free programming allows compilers to transform high-level code into very efficient machine code.

I've always wondered about the utility of this in exploratory programming. We always hear how great Lisp is because of dynamic typing, macros, etc., but once you kind-of know the solution you go back and code it efficiently. If you've implemented your code in terms of type classes in the first place, how much easier is it in Haskell to just change a few types of the inputs (List -> Vector, Integer -> Int#) and get a performance increase?
Because great ideas are what turn shitty markets back into great ones. And it's not even the idea here, because it's not exactly rocket science, it's about the execution. If you're executing right and have a good idea, you're very likely to hit success no matter what's going on in the marketplace.
Perhaps (s)he -- a commenter on Hacker News -- doesn't need it, but the non-techy people that are driving the App Store's incredible sales LOVE having all these apps in one place, no typing, just tap "buy".
Maybe not everyone is aware so I want to point out these issues:

1. Don't use it if the page is over SSL (it'll include external JS over HTTP which means that you are vulnerable to MITM)

2. Don't use it if the website carries "sessionid"s over URL

3. Keep in mind that arc90's JS can actually read the cookies (I'm not saying they are but they can). That means if someone hack into their systems they can access to cookies in used websites. (think XSS). Obviously by using it you trust instapaper guys with your account in the active website.

Developers of Readability should point out these security issues clearly in their website.
That's bullshit. There are a lot of impressive startups here and a number of others that are about to come out of the gate that are going to kill it.

I lived in SF for a number of years, and the mix of impressive to unimpressive start-ups is fairly similar in both places.

If you can't find anything interesting it's just because you aren't looking.

Cue 50 comments on how this is an evil attempt by Google to make money and monopolize everything.
The irony of your first two sentences is crippling.

There is real truth in the quote:

Passion is fleeting, transient, momentary on the timescales that achievement requires.

You can certainly dance around the issue and claim that passion is in fact the same as interest, but then you're redefining well-established connotations in order to do an end-around on the guy's main thesis and shoot it down a priori.
Ask HN: Double Entry Bookkeeping SaaS Recommendations ?
I work remotely with a partner on our business. With Google Docs / SVN /etc... staying in sync to each other hasn't really been a problem - now that we actually have expenses/revenues we need a good SaaS bookkeeping system.

I've have found the following players in SaaS space:

http://lessaccounting.com/
http://www.clarityaccounting.com/
http://www.ubikwiti.com/

Anyone have any comments / experiences with any of the above? Any recommendations of services not on this list?

My thoughts on the Startup Visa bill
There's also a (likely small) percentage of people who pirate games they have already bought in order to "simply play it." I can't tell you how many NoCD hacks I've used, which while different from outright piracy, is very similar in concept and likely prone to inflating piracy figures.

Lastly, there is also the (likely small) category of those who pirate and later buy the game once the price comes down. Many games drop to $5-$10 on Steam after a year or two, which is rather enticing even to a pirate.
"Stop delegating" had me thinking of that "micromanagement is god" jackass a couple weeks back. The gist of this is that DePinto spent a bunch of time working at doing the same stuff normal worker bees do to learn more about the business, which is quite sensible.
Most likely outcome: governments take the following eugenic approach. The smartest get government-provided education and an encouragement to reproduce. Available to all will be basic income and public services. It will be engineered in such a way that those whose children are not likely to succeed economically are somewhat discouraged (e.g. a basic income that declines as they have more kids), but it won't look that way. Essentially, it will look like this: basic income that brings everyone out of poverty (so those who currently reproduce whilst in poverty as they have nothing to lose lifestyle-wise, now have a relatively nice lifestyle and an incentive not to have kids that society can't afford) and social services directed at intelligent children-- educational grants and resources. Thus, having children is an economic negative if your kids are not smart and positive if they are.

Eugenics by carrots, not sticks. Which is good IMO. I have no problem with eugenics so long as (1) no one is forcibly sterilized or killed, and (2) no racism is involved.

Basic income is necessary. There will be a large set of people who won't be able to compete with automation on the free market-- the work they've traditionally done will be done by robots. What remains is the work that requires intelligence and creativity. Our demand for this kind of work is (as far as I can see) unbounded. However, our process for rewarding this type of work is extremely "noisy", because creative work has a lot of variance in terms both of its success and in its ability to capture the (often intangible and indirect) value it adds. So we'll need a basic/guaranteed income for smart people because the work we'll want them to be doing is work that doesn't always pay off immediately and the problems they'll be solving will not always be soluble.
For Li-Ion batteries, which I think are the norm, they're wrong, & that course is about the worst for your battery life. Deep discharging once a month or so can be helpful, but, say, every day or two, is not. Charging halfway counts as half a charge, so lots of small charges is much gentler than many big charges.

That was based on a real event at Caltech:

http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/archive/permalink/the_cal...

The short version: in 1975, at the dawn of the computer age, a group Caltech students used the school's IBM mainframe to print out 1.2 million entries to a McDonald's sweepstakes, stuffing them into the entry boxes at 98 separate restaurant locations. The students ended up winning 20% of the prizes, including a new car and $3000 worth of groceries.

Linux doesn't need to be any more mainstream than it already is. Coding for open source projects is fun because we can forget about formalities and pissing contests.
Also, if you are building an enterprise software organization, your primary concern might be something different than having a team that builds the best software possible. The goal may be to get the bare minimum done for minimal cost. So passion may be necessary to build truly great software, but not all organizations that build software are necessarily trying to build great software. I suppose that speaks to the passion or lack thereof in management.

But what he said disproves your point. Even if something is 99 cents, it will still be cracked. What makes you think they will pay $30?

The community is filled with excuse after excuse to justify piracy. Many people have even said that the industry needs to find a "new business model". I think this article shows that they already have: Software as a service. Piracy will eventually drive all software in this direction.

My recollection is that the Coast Guard tried quite a few different methods (paint, directed charges, etc) to break up small ice bergs before they entered the shipping lanes in the late 50's early 60's. The ice bergs proved to be exceedingly hardy. Efforts to dissipate them were abandoned in favor of simply detecting them and avoiding them.
I tried covering up bits with my hand, with bits of paper, and staring at it with varying intensities - I still didn't believe it until I loaded it up in Gimp and checked the colour values.

It seems our perception of colour could be like our perception of temperature - comparative, rather than 'quantitative' in any way. Anyone here know of any studies into this?
I would take you at your word, but right now your word says literally "I'll do my best to give you the discount" (edit: if certain scenarios come to pass, such as you starting a company). That's pretty weak.

Interesting experiment. The danger is you get a handful of takers, then you have to live forever with the admin overhead of keeping track of them (as they change email addresses, etc. over the years), all for a little temporary pocket money. I guess that's why you need to say things like "I'll do my best." Maybe you could add a condition, saying the deal will kick in once X number of people sign up, otherwise everyone gets refunded.
I've been using this since the last time it was posted on HN and highly recommend it as well.
I'm pretty sure couchdb has a query language which can receive injections. If you pass JavaScript into mongodb theoretically you could open an injection problem if you don't use parametrization. But unless your nosql database has a native API, it still probably is vulnerable to command injection in the same way SQL databases are. Nothing really special about nosql itself that prevents this.
"Don't forget my direction - a guy who always buys his games, but has been deeply disillusioned by the way games have been "consolified" of late, hence has spent less and less on games, and has built up a level of resentment of publishers who think that reduced game sales is owing to piracy, rather than crappy ports."

Maybe if there was less piracy, we could make a logical conclusion that it was a "crappy port".
Steve Welch on getting traction (video)
This interview is a bit different than the others I've done so far because of Steve's background. He sold a biotech company (as opposed to Web), which we get into in detail (he did a lot of cold calling). More than that though he just finished a book on entrepreneurship (http://waabe.us/) where he interviewed hundreds of successful entrepreneurs, and he's seen hundreds more as a partner of Dreamit Ventures (Philly's YC). So he's in a position to make some decent generalizations.

In the coming weeks, I'm interviewing Garry and Sachin from posterous, Justin from justin.tv, Eric Reis of the lean startup movement and Paul English from Kayak.com. If you have any questions you'd like me to ask any of these people on the subject of getting traction, please let me know.

Make it illegal to spend more than 30% of one's after-tax income on rent. A fine is assessed to the landlord (and a small token fine of perhaps $50 to the tenant).

Now the glut of idiots (and parentally-funded schmucks who currently live in $4000+/month apartments while working unpaid marketing/fashion internships, who would be forced out of the city) willing to destroy their finances in order to live in New York is gone; they're forced by law out of the auction. Our rents are high because we have to compete with these assholes. So let's take them out.

Landlords will either lower their rents to reasonable values or accept vacancies.
Perhaps I need to fix some wording, but what it comes down to is: You will get a lifetime discount on any product I build, period. In the unlikely case I end up working a day-job for the rest of my life, I'll do everything in my power to ensure you get the discount, even if I have to pay the difference myself.

I'm going to look over my post and see how I can improve the message. Thanks.
Yes, knowledge of a patent could increase damages if you are found to be infringing. However, ignorance of all patents causes Fear Uncertainty and Doubt at the slightest mention of the an overly broad patent title. Knowledge of the patents in your field is the only way to avoid infringing them. I used to believe that ignorance was the better path, but that only leads to you being sued over something you were unaware of. Now I opt to avoid being sued in the first place.

I do. It somehow doesn't save me from dealing with the DRM and jumping through the hoops that people who don't just bypass.

As the restrictions get more onerous and the hoops get higher, smaller, and set aflame, piracy will not go down.

It's not a tower defense clone. They added some constraints (no lateral movement) and removed others (no upgrades, set list of "towers" per game) which makes it more addictive.

They've obviously spent a lot of work tuning the game fundamentals and then added a great cute theme/graphics.

I think you are missing how important details are. This is why game designers for both board and video games spend months tuning their game mechanics to get it just so.

This is why Sid Meier games have his name on them and tend to be very popular.
I visited the Zurich office as a guest. Inside, there are areas with lots of social activity (and loud), and also many areas (offices, really) of total silence, calmness, and good natural light everywhere. Lots of glass walls with plants and posters to create privacy. The pictures in the link only show the funky areas--a minor fraction. Overall it looked like a great place to work at.
This seems to be a not too uncommon occurrence based on what I've seen via the site. I find it a bit discomforting that this happens at all.

The brain can mess with perception in pretty significant ways based on very little information.

Indeed. Which isn't too surprising since perception constructed by the brain. :) I think that the fact that you can't "will" yourself to see the colors how they "really are" suggests something the brain is taking some sort of computational shortcut to allow us to process light and shadows efficiently--one that is almost never wrong in the environment that we evolved in--that we can violate the assumptions of in the illusion.
