This was a very popular (multimillion dollar) Kickstarter campaign for a handheld molecular sensor, Scio. I've been a patient and happy backer for a couple years now. Backers were just informed that the campaign has been removed from KS due to an intellectual property dispute. I understand delays occur, but I've never heard of KS taking down a prominent campaign over an IP issue. Has anyone seen this before? Is there any hope of getting the product at this point?
Use the appropriate tools for the appropriate work. React do provide the alternative to use uncontrolled form fields, which would be more appropriate to this case.
I've got a React/redux app with over 50 form fields and it's blazing fast. Not using redux-form, though.

I think its offensive to have nationalistic robot-like-chanting being defended as an okay thing. Its the sort of thing you expect people to do at rallies or cult gatherings, and from an outsider perspective it always tarnishes what is otherwise a very rational event, because its an implied irrational, collective mindset. As a non-American, I wish it'd stop - its a major turnoff for these events, and I switch away when it starts up.

I know, I know - Americans have a right to be proud, and they do. But expressing it with a cult-like mechanism that is, essentially "our group is great, nobody else can/has done this" is just .. revolting.

I say this, knowing full well I'm going to get down voted for it, but I really do wish you Americans would think about it from the other side of your dark mirror. Can't we come up with a chant that includes all of humanity? After all, America wouldn't be the nation it is today without all other nations on Earth, including the ones that America has invaded, and destroyed completely, wantonly, for decades.

EDIT: Feel how this post detracts from the main article, and is a distraction from the feel-goodness of SpaceX's accomplishments? For us non-Americans, thats how the USA-cult chant feels - a total distraction. I wish I could down vote the chanting when I see it on TV, too.
You're wrong. Look at the responses you're getting, many of us were there in the 90's and if you think waterfall wasn't the dominant method of developing then you just don't know what was going on back then. It doesn't matter if they called it "waterfall" or not, it matters that it's simply what they were doing. Massive requirements gathering and spec writing with development being considered like construction of a blueprint at the end of a months/years long cycle. That's how development was done before agile came around.

Waterfall still isn't dead and will never die because it's how people think by default, plan it all out, then build it. That's how buildings are made and thus it becomes the default methodology of all new managers who don't know what they're doing.

I believe prostitution is morally wrong. I believe making it illegal is ineffective.

I believe the correct legal thing to do is to criminalize only the buying side of the transaction. If you pay for it, you are victimizing, and that should be criminal. If you provide, that's legal, but not moral.
Disagree. Uber is not winning in China for one reason only - Didi is better than Uber. It has nothing to do with Chinese government or people. Chinese people love foreign brands, which are seen as being better and higher quality. They buy iPhones, go to Startbucks etc.
Why does everyone, including Ms. Lovecruft conclude that something is horribly wrong and that FBI wanting to speak with them means they are in deep shit? I'm by no means defending them, but to me, the whole (original) post looks overly paranoid.

She's smart by putting this out there now. Even if they detain her for some unknown reason, she can still contact her attorney, who then alerts the local and national media and now the FBI have a firestorm of publicity they don't want. Along with several lawsuits I'm sure her attorney would file immediately.

Sure, they can do that, but the repercussions are something they certainly don't want to deal with.

I don't think that's practical. It would cause her a lot of stress (not to mention cost quite some money) and sooner or later wear her out.

It also means that the FBI has reached their goal of intimidating her, since she is changing her behavior because of them (assuming that is their goal of course).

That's nice for the US but that does not apply for many other countries. Case in point: Austria does not have a practical IPv4 shortage currently so motivation for deploying IPv6 is low and customers actively refuse it.
And yet there are cases where the US constitution leads to this kind of weirdness. Safes in the US use combinations rather than keys (unlike most of the world), because bizarrely enough the authorities can (AIUI) get a warrant that forces you to give up a key, but not (or it's harder) to force you to disclose a combination. So it's not so implausible that there would be a similar legal technicality that was relevant here.

This is a really cool write-up. Another thing that might be of interest was the performance of the aircraft. There's a guy in Texas with 6 non-flying 109s, a couple P-51s, and some other stuff for sale as a lot. He's a former stunt pilot, flew in the movie 'Battle of Britain' and several others.

In his words, the 109 handled much better at the limit than the P-51. The P-51 could dive and go very fast, but with poor control. In his opinion the 109 was the superior aircraft.

Not sure if it relates at all to the prop discussion, but maybe in the grand scheme of engineering? Those warbirds are fascinating pieces of hardware to me.

Three blades is the smallest number that reduces the vibrations due to the blades crossing the support structure. When a blade crosses the support its applied force is reduced because the wind is slower around the support. This reduction in forces creates a yawing torque that can lead to unwanted vibrations. Much of the structural stiffness and bearing requirements are related to these effects. Three blades minimizes the effect because when one blade crosses the support the other two blades are out in a Y shape, shortening the force differential when compared to two blades.

I recently started using D and I was loving it so far. I bought Alexandrescu's excellent The D Programming Language. It's a fun book, teaches a lot about programming in general, and even if you don't think you'll use D, I recommend reading this book to get ideas about what programming languages can do.

Then I ran into this:

https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15994

The response to this has almost completely demolished my interest in D. It is with a broken hacker heart that I think I need to step away from D. The problem is not that it's possible to segfault in D or dereference a null pointer in D, as Rust allows this too, but that it's so easy to do so. The worst part is that the response is to blame the learner instead of blaming the language. If I wanted to be blamed, I would go back to C++.

I tried to suggest a language change in IRC, such as for example disallowing bare "SomeClass someobject;" declarations and requiring either "SomeClass someobject = new SomeClass(foo, bar, baz)" or "SomeClass someobject = null;" in order to make it explicit that the reference will be null, but everyone in IRC seemed to think that it was impossible to change the D language. This despite how the language is already constantly changing because as blog post mentions, Phobos is rapidly changing.

I am going to try to raise this concern again in the D mailing list/forum (it's actually really cool these two are the same thing). There are so many good ideas in D, and I really loved everything up until I ran into this. Maybe Walter or Andrei will see the importance of making it more difficult to dereference null pointers.
I didn't actually read the analysis, but to find two arbitrary inputs that hash to the same value for a 128-bit hash, collisions would follow the birthday bound, so it would take 2^(128/2) = 2^64 effort. Definitely not out of the realm of possibility for a modestly-funded effort, and certainly less security than I would expect for a cryptocurrency.

Live and work in Baltimore now (been here around 10 years) and it's definitely a thing. Our main issue is that this "reinvestment" in the city is happening at a glacial pace--much slower than needed to address the seriously neglected and decayed infrastructure that's been piling up since the white-flight of the 50's and 60's.

Still, the city's population is much lower than it was during the boom years of the 30's-50's so gentrification, while certainly spurring some conflict and debate, is nothing compared to a Manhattan or a San Francisco.

Since much of the recent shifts have spread out from the redeveloped waterfront and Rt. 83 corridor, you still see huge differences in home prices over the space of, say, 10 blocks. Looking at mostly typical Baltimore townhomes renovated in the past 10 years, our house which cost $240k would've cost $350k if it had been maybe 10 blocks south in the more gentrified Canton neighborhood.

And now, a few years on, new renovations on our block are being listed for those $300-400k prices. From a long term investment perspective, it would seem that values will be holding steady or rising in my immediate area but in bigger terms, I think it relates quite a bit to the overall topic of this thread. Younger people (and probably some not so young) are still interested in home ownership but can't (or won't) afford to pay DC prices or even the prices of surrounding suburbs.

I truly hope (selfishly, as a Baltimore resident) that this signals a wider shift to reinvestment or just investment in smaller cities that may have seen major declines during the 60's-80's as those with means moved out to the new burbs. Living within a few miles of work is great and being able to walk or bike places is awesome. I don't know how much you'd need to pay me to get me on that hour-long highway commute from the suburbs every day.

This is incorrect, it's about fuel. By the time the rocket has completed first stage separation it's traveled a long way "horizontally" and is no longer near the launch site. They are trying to create a landing spot as close to the rocket as possible so it can't make it back. The only orbits that can reasonable get all the way back to land are fairly low and from specific launch sites.

As a current subscriber (who has been receiving the old packaging), the new packaging is off-putting:

* It looks childish. If you are familiar with the Japanese style of advertising etc., probably not an issue, but as a box to be sent anywhere and to be received in a variety of settings (workplaces etc.) it seems like a poor choice.

* Anime may have poor connotations (unfair IMO) as pointed out elsewhere in the thread, which will reflect on the receiver.

* It feels corporate / like advertising. It may seem silly, but I'm more likely to continue subscribing to a small company if I'm on the fence about canceling.

* It feels like a waste of money. The current packaging is utilitarian, which signals that money is being spent only where it needs to be. The new packaging feels like an unnecessary indulgence, which would make me think I'm getting less value out of the subscription.

First of all, thanks for the links. I admit I didn't read the 147-page pdf, but I think we can classify it with all the rest, at the same level of "evidence".

As far as I can see there's nothing new here, other than the usual super-secret 3-letter agency experiments, full of material for great spy movies but thin on substance or evidence. I think you'd agree that the same quality of evidence is abundant for aliens, area 51 and all that.

>I believe that counts as doing something against ones will.

Um nope :)

Hypnotize someone and instruct them to do some kind of self-harm. Jump off a roof. Shoot themselves or whatnot. It won't happen :D

So maybe I wasn't clear earlier. I am aligned with the scientific consensus at this point. And that, at the moment, is that this is hocus-pocus, placebo effect and the usual trait of humans that they need an excuse to justify actions that would usually never do. You know, kinda like "oh no, the alcohol did it!"

Maybe we'll have stronger evidence in the future, but right now it's all smoke. Nevertheless, interesting.

>It comes from the greek word ἀπολογία, "speaking in defense".

I just want to point out here that just because an English word comes from some Greek word, that doesn't mean the English word actually means that today. You are correct about "apologist" (according to Wiktionary at any rate), it just means someone who speaks in defense of something, but there are other words where the meaning has changed over time. English is a language that is defined by its popular usage, and this can change over time so a word may not mean the same thing today as it did just 100 years ago.

A good example is the word "pathetic". According to Wiktionary, it comes from Greek:

'παθητικός ‎(pathētikós, “subject to feeling, capable of feeling, impassioned”), from παθητός ‎(pathētós, “one who has suffered, subject to suffering”), from πάσχω ‎(páskhō, “to suffer”).'

Obviously, those don't bear that much resemblance to the current popular meaning, which is:

'1.Arousing pity, sympathy, or compassion.' or
'2.Arousing scornful pity or contempt, often due to miserable inadequacy.'

In fact, other European languages like German have this same word (I believe this is called a "cognate"; I am not a linguist), from the same root, but their meaning is entirely different and they get confused when they learn English and encounter this word since we use it in such a different manner.

TL;DR: Greek or Latin roots are interesting from a historical and linguistic perspective, but they're no guarantee of the current definition of an English word.
