FAA Mandates Engine-Icing Fixes That Could Affect Up to 150 Boeing 787 Jets
Are we really complaining about webpage size when fully 30% of web traffic is Netflix? This might be an unpopular opinion but websites are no longer just html, css and js. They're full on applications with rich interaction and data visualization. Call me when they're larger than an average modern native app install.
"It seems that most do it for tradition sake and I have a hard time getting on board with something like that"

Are traditions so bad?
Perfectly okay if you don't have certain traditions, but I wouldn't disrespect other people's traditions either.

We buy engagement rings out of traditions.
We leave a tip at a restaurant because its traditional.
I live in a country without Starbucks, so I ended up developing my own tradition of buying a java chip frappuchino when ever I travel.

As long as no one is forcing you to adhere to their traditions, let people hold on to theirs.
> "Paper will at least disintegrate over time in the bay's water."

Paper bags also have a tendency to disintegrated when I am carrying them home.

Because of this, I am now more inclined to drive my car to the grocery store, so that I can place the bags in the trunk.
There are known biases throughout RC4 output. There are really bad biases towards the beginning. A small file would likely be XOR'd with certain bytes or patterns of bytes. If this is not exploitable in your hypothetical scenario, it maybe exploitable in others. I think this is generally unsafe.
It's an interesting take on the problem, tracking who has bought what - and for how much - through block-chains, opposed to having it stored in a database.

I think it would be a bit hard to use for your average user though with the current state of block-chains, we're working really hard to make the sign up and transactional steps as easy and painless as possible. And it would have to be managed through a platform somehow.

But we'll definitely keep an eye on how they get along with Mycelia, thanks a lot for pointing it out!
My sheer arrogance considers you excused.
This is likely true, but for a less nefarious reasons. It's very unlikely they received your order and were sitting around twirling their thumbs until the last possible moment.

Instead Amazon has algos that know exactly when they need to get an item in the mail to make it before the deadline. Every time an order comes in, the pickers list is updated.

Meaning that every time a customers order comes in with a tighter deadline, their order will be picked prior to yours, until you deadline is sufficiently close (or there is a lack of more pressing orders) for your items to make it to the top of the list.
AMD was their only option

There's VIA, though I'm not sure their processors are still relevant.
Reading List: Museum Histories
I have relatively few outlets, (House was built in 1968) and I don't see the point either - you keep everything unplugged until you have to use it. I typically keep the rice cooker, crockpot, and all of the other "occasional use" appliances in the cupboard anyway. The only appliances that I actually have in a fixed spot are the microwave, toaster, and blender. Three outlets in three different spots, no problem.
That's what I am thinking while looking at my seemingly cramped kitchen with by comparison massive 24 inch deep countertops with only 4 outlets (5 if you count the one hidden behind the refrigerator). Much more than 18 inches apart. It boggles my mind to have that many outlets.
I got banned from Twitter Analytics and they won't tell me why
Agreed, except maybe for PR, as nowadays it seems like Elon Musks is the new Steve Jobs in the mind of a lot people of the "Tech Community" or other incompetent "Tech Journalists" (sorry for the pleonasm).
> See my above response. Markets do deal with vandalism and shoplifting, probably better than the police.

Yeah. By making innocent people pay for the crimes of shoplifters, without actually fixing the shoplifters.

Shoplifters: Get free profit.

Consumers / Stores: Pay the cost.

That's hardly a solution, and you know it.

> Private police forces do exist

Generally speaking, we give monopoly powers of force to the Police. Private security forces are not allowed to use guns or tasers for example.

The effectiveness of unarmed security guards hired by insurance companies does jack-shit with regards to stopping a 7-11 gun-assisted theft.

And yes, I prefer that only trained officers have the legality to use guns in public places. Too many people shooting firemen in panic attacks: http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/16/us/maryland-firefighters-shot/...

> If the dump is incurring a cost by putting plastic bags into its landfill, than it behooves the dump to recuperate those costs from those consuming and throwing away those bags. If the dump's consumption of plastic bags is causing pollution to neighboring properties than the dump is liable.

Okay. The dump is owned by my county. And my county is now recuperating the costs by taxing the public. Congratulations. We're back at square one. Taxes are the fairest way of paying for this problem.

And if the dump is a private, 3rd party entity... how do you expect the dump to actually force people to pay for the services? Taxes man, they are the simplest solution.
Unconstitutional laws are constitutional until you attempt to enforce them against someone with deep pockets (and for several years thereafter while the appellate courts do their thing).

A long time ago, I interviewed with a major bank. As part of an all day grilling (arrive in city at 1 am, interviews start at 7:30 am, last until 6:30 pm with a lunch break), after lunch, I was given a programming task. By that time, I had already been interviewed by three people. The task was something that may have sounded trivial at first blush. I was given a computer and an hour.

After the hour was up, my code was reviewed by six people while I interviewed with the DBA who took joy in pointing out my admitted deficiencies with SQL. I then had another hour discussing the code with the six reviewers.

The program worked on the sample data I was given. I was later told that the other candidate's programs also worked on the sample data. Except, mine was the only one which actually ran to completion with their real data sets. I was also the only interviewee without a formal CS "education".

I got an offer which I ended up not taking due to location considerations.

If you are going to ask someone to write code, give them a computer and some quiet time. You can grill them about the thinking process after they came up with something. Having someone watch over one's shoulder every time one puts a pen to the stupid whiteboard will eliminate a lot more candidates for the wrong reasons than one ought to consider desirable.
I'm a Catholic who doesn't eat meat on Fridays. The reason I do it is that it's a weekly commemoration of the crucifixion. There are other benefits, too, (in fact the concept seems to be gaining popularity in the secular world as "meatless Mondays") but for me it is a principally a weekly reminder of my faith.

But I agree that we Catholics don't have anything on the Jews when it comes to dietary laws. In fact, that was the whole point of the Council of Jerusalem!

And as far as the "fish is okay" rule goes, that's really just because our modern word for "meat" doesn't correspond exactly with the word for "meat" in the ancient church. Fish was seen as distinct from meat from the very beginning. And unfortunately our modern word for "fish" doesn't correspond exactly with the ancient meaning as well. In the ancient church "fish" referred to any animal that lived primarily in water, which includes some reptiles like frogs and semi-aquatic mammals like the capybara.
Are they above the board? I know at sites like DailyKos there are lots of concern with Sanders supporters that Hillary is buying commenters and even the site itself.

The Hillary supporters claim this is "required given the money being raised on the other side" - $2B is a figure thrown around, and that not doing this is essentially ceding the field.
No, not yet, but they certainly can be. Handing this technology to the next J. Edgar Hoover -- and rest assured, there will be a next J. Edgar Hoover, even if Comey isn't him -- will be like giving an atomic bomb to that kid in high school that everybody was pretty sure would end up in jail.

If the judges and politicians had half a brain, they'd understand that they, and not us, will be the first to experience the downsides of a security state gone berserk.

>...by which I mean the experiment itself without the "fair" elements

I don't think the author or anyone else disagrees... the article was specifically about science fairs, not science projects generally. It's right in the title. And reiterated in the portion of the text where the author juxtaposes their childhood experience with their child's experience.

> This isn't someone being born with silver spoons in their mouth. This is regulation thoughtlessly applied with no thought about the costs.

It's both (which gets to the heart of what I consider the most compelling arguments for decreased regulation). Whenever there are bureaucratic barriers, knowing the right sorts of people works wonders. You might even say it's a privilege...
Society and anarchy are not mutually exclusive.
Cool concept, seems much better than flight, if you are in no rush to get there.
Your assuming a specific value exists for environmental pollution. Instead, by it's vary nature people chose a completly arbitrary value.

Abstractly, the environment is clearly worth more than every other thing in the world combined. EX: If 6.9 billion people needed to die to maintain a breathable atmosphere that would be a simple choice. How to messure lower levels of harm is what's subjective.

PS: Consider burning fossil fuels has directly lowered the amount of free oxegen in the atmosphere. There is not enough fossils fuel know to exist for this to be a real problem. But in a world where there was it would be a much more direct survival issue.
There is not I'm afraid, you have to mark the ballot paper. So the way round it is to mark the paper outside of the boxes, thus making it an invalid vote.
I have known several people who did not subscribe to any particular religion - actively shunned some - but described themselves as "spiritual". Others are self-described agnostics. Being an atheist is usually considered an active choice, not a passive one.

Seconded. Without a source to verify these claims, it seems that a huge amount of this discussion is based on hearsay.

I can tell you that the SF Electrical code (which I presume he is referring to) is available here:

http://library.amlegal.com/nxt/gateway.dll/California/sfbuil...

It's written as a series of amendments to the CA Electrical code, which is here:

http://www.nfpa.org/codes-and-standards/document-information...

See Section 210.52 for kitchen requirements. AFAICT, there is no requirement that outlets be 18" apart - more like 48".

Good luck finding the code sections that he's referring to though - there's a lot of text in there, and it's not easy to search..
Advocacy is what most people want nowadays - reporting that resonates with your biases seems more fair (and thus, is trusted more) than reporting which might challenge your preconceptions. eff.org gets posted as often as it does because of its bias, not despite it.

Although to be fair, eff articles do get called out a lot on Hacker News as well - the userbase is diverse, any anything of interest will be argued from both sides, sometimes in good faith, sometimes not. But I think that's why biased articles are more likely to be posted than unbiased ones - the bias is what makes it seems interesting.
This is very serious review. Thanks for this link.

It looks like they are admitting that the problem of reflections is a serious one and needs addressing. I think that this is very positive.

But just a number does not make any sense, so I looked up some videos. Here is the first one where he turns the tablet around quite in the beginning - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RGbn2oAri8

It looks like that 1.7 percent of reflectance will still cause serious reflections. This is not good enough.

So the rating Outstanding should in fact read still far from barely satisfactory. :(

I hope that people will wise up and start demanding reflection free devices.
Being coached by professional microbiologists in a working lab is not really an advantage?
Here is my take: It is not just about religion. Having been born in a third world country but now in the US, I'm struck, by looking at those less fortunate, how much more (socially) devastating being poor here is.

People often talk about how the poor in the US still live better than the poor in the third world, but the poor in third world countries are not excluded from renting relatively decent places because of bad credit, they don't give away their class by their bad teeth, they (mostly) do not have to sleep under bridges (unless they have serious mental issues), their mobility is not restricted by the need to have a car (which all the attendant on-going costs), and so on.

I could be dirt poor in a third world country and people will not avoid me like I am some sort of defective, repugnant, morally challenged person; I am still normal.
>But the solution for this is actually not that difficult. Just keep going. Don't settle. And look to bigger and better things

Or, find something that is more meaningful to you. That might be: working for a non-profit helping people, creating your own startup, etc.

The SF ban was motivated partly because the plastic bags were literally clogging the machinery at their processing center. Even with the ban, they have employees scrape the bags off periodically.
Where'd you get this? It's still a Lenten season thing. It's encouraged to practice it year round, but not considered a requirement.

EDIT: Turns out there's a lot more variation of this between nations than I realized. Abstinence and fasting being two separate things, with fasting typically including abstinence. The Council of Bishops in each country basically decides what the rules will be for that country. Fasting is mandatory for some days worldwide, but the rest are up to the locals, so to speak. Some have chosen year round abstinence and fasting, others some subset of that.

> Android/iOS/OSX/Windows should just work on a better standard mechanism to deliver native apps instead

one might imagine that after these competing and incompatible native apps become a headache for crossplatform pursuits, a new platform will emerge that provides a uniform toolset for developing (mostly) native-platform independent applications.

perhaps this toolset will utilize a declarative system for specifying the user interface, and a scripting system that is JIT'd on each platform.
How does that fit with the advent of same-day delivery? Presumably the goods can't be assembled that quickly.
No problem! I noticed most of the major box distributors' boxes are still broken, so I thought I'd try to get mine working ASAP even with the current bugs in Vagrant.
It would be microarchitecture, SOC, or commercial application patents. Even one or two critical ones could be good ammo. I doubt Intel or AMD stopped at 1 or 2, though. ;)
I never got the fish isn't meat thing either I guess meat means land animals and fish is from the sea. A man was crucified 2,000 years ago so you can't eat a hamburger...why? Sacrifice maybe I could accept that but why just meat and not abstain from all food.

At least the Jews made some attempt at giving a reason as to why you can eat certain food and not just "because".

It's interesting how Jews, Christians (Catholic only?) and Muslims all have a somewhat related dietary restriction philosophy. It's not surprising seeing how all developed in the same region the Levant area where the local cultures must have had similar customs before all the religions developed. Catholicism is so close to Judaism I can understand the relation but Islam only developed over 500 years later after Christianity maybe a remnant of their former Jewish and Christian practice?

svmidi – a simple virtual midi keyboard (beta)
Scott is pretty reasonable, but in this case I think the whole supes went overboard. I would have preferred a stipulation to make them solar ready,but not outright installed. I feel that sometimes excitement and wanting to be "leaders in x" gets the better of them, from time to time.

When I plan to buy a house I'll seriously consider installing solar, but id almost want to tear down any installation forced on by the city. If it's your property it should be up to you to consider what you want to add to your domicile. Maybe I don't want the upfront cost of solar, or maybe I planned on other renewables.

Put solar on all your city buses, put solar on all city buildings, etc. Don't force solar on homeowners who never wanted it.

Actually you share one more, important, datum: This user uses Tor. Likely uses Tor for other, possible nefarious, purposes too. Likely has a high X_keyscore.

Your real profile and location can be inferred from your browsing habbits and friend's data.

Unfortunately, with the current size of Facebook, even "not having an active Facebook account" shares data, especially when you are in an age category where all your peers do have profiles. It's a negative signal to recruiters and employers ("must have something to hide...").
I was wondering if your experience backed up the theory I've heard that men are happy to be average programmers but women who aren't excellent don't stay in the profession. Sounds like it does.

The title doesn't mention JavaScript nor is the editor written in or exclusively compiled to it. Further, modern JavaScript engines are very fast. The main performance bottleneck in web-based editors like Atom or Light Table is the DOM. The web target of this editor only makes use of two DOM nodes - the <canvas> that everything renders to and a hidden <input> for capturing user input.
Meatless Monday is ultimately promoted from a concern of animals - I don't see the concepts as being analogous beyond a superficial similarity.

I've got to say, even as a former Catholic, I don't understand meatless Fridays. There is certainly no level of sacrifice required to abstain from meat. And if there were even a tinge of moral reasoning behind the decision, why only one day a week? Seems like another strange artifact.
> It's hard to fit in with rich whites / asians who have a boat from their parents and wear designer clothes when you spent your whole childhood playing with cards and worrying about money

As a rich white/Asian, I agree. Now what? We will all go back to coding in atom/vim/etc and continue our lives, forgetting we ever had this whole conversation.
Not so, the chips and display are made in Korea, Taiwan or Japan.
The exact dimensions are based on my memory of a conversation. I actually tried to look up the real thing, but like, you I failed.

Even so, just wanted to go on record as saying I'm not sure the exact dimensions I quoted were correct. But I don't think that's the point. It's just an interesting illustration of how emergent complexity can creep up without anyone intending it.

And I sure didn't mean to spark a huge discussion with dozens of comments, I'm pretty surprised by how far this thing has gone!!

I did this in Boston back in the 1980s. At that time there was a shortage, but nevertheless they screened us and trained us and provided support services to us. No mobile phones; I would go there two evenings a week (we were all volunteers).

I did this first at my school, MIT (which didn't thank goodness, get suicide calls when I was there though there were suicides and we did get calls about the consequences) and later for the Boston area, where we did get actual suicide calls. I recently learned that MIT had shut down the service -- I don't know why.

If you're interested just look on the web for suicide prevention hotline and you'll find the name of an organization in your area. I don't if they still use volunteers or what these days. My experience is 30 years old.
"...The transition from an Internet of websites to an Internet of mobile apps". This is the problem. When we visit a website on a mobile device, we don't want a pop up for a mobile app - we just want to visit the site. Most mobile sites are "de-optimized" and make it very difficult to navigate. Huge banners and footers take up valuable screen space, and we get pop-ups so big the close button is offscreen.
