Absolutely. Then again, there are limits. I remember an old Meade model (no longer available) that was a 20", $36k monster. I was beautiful, and they sold it as an observatory-grade instrument. But the 16" models were priced close to $10k, so it sort of made sense (in that particular case) to duplicate the rig. My "napkin analysis" was:

20" diameter, ~315 squared inches of area[0], $36k

2x 16 inches diameter, ~402 squared inches of area, $20k

This prices did include mounts, but back then (more than 10 years ago) I wasn't very knowledgeable and I honestly don't know if they were good mounts. So there was margin to increase the light gathering and having spare money for the new camera.

Still, the most interesting use for multiple telescopes would be building and interferometer. I'll keep looking into that, with the procesing power available in todays machines it should be doable.

[0] I know the secondary mirror obstructs the light gathering, but I don't have precise figures, so let's go with it the area of the main mirror.

I remember seeing a language that compiled to 6502 do this. I can't remember the name of it, but it was fairly new. On 6502 the advantage is clear, since there is no cache, since index registers are only 8 bits and since they can only be modified by increment/decrement/load/tranfer operations.

I'm all for gun rights but allowing firearms on airplanes would be a disaster. Just to start with, if you allow firearms a group of hijackers could ostensibly open fire on the cockpit and kill the pilots before any other passenger could neutralize them. You'd be depending on more passengers having guns than hijackers, which would be completely down to luck.

Secondly, you'd have a bunch of incidents of idiots pulling their gun when they shouldn't have, which would lead to avoidable injuries, deaths, panic, etc.

TSA should screen for firearms with metal detectors and xray machines, its just all of the removing the shoes, body scans, laptop scans, banning liquids, and understaffing that are a problem.
The way Israel achieves their efficacy is blatant racial profiling. I've been to Israel several times, and because I am a white Jewish American, I have no problems. If I had brown skin, or was Muslim, or wasn't from the US, there's a good chance I'd just not be let in.

Now, it works extremely well. Can't deny that. And it's legal under Israeli law. But it would be blatantly illegal here.
In the US, you don't need to give you passport/ID but a SSN is necessary if you want to finance it—which most people do. And that is the de-facto national identification number.

So while there are ways around it, most people are led to give that info up voluntarily.
No, this article is literally about why you should do everything in your power to never go "on-prem".
Hopefully one outcome of this undertaking will be some clarity - does Google sufficiently use legal methods? If so, this raid might be more show and a "fishing expedition" than genuinely deployed based on cause. However, if there was sufficient evidence to justify such a raid, then I will be interested to read the findings by the French authorities. Discussing tax reform is about as contentious as discussing IP/copyright reform, in that unless major global players get consistent, then it's just too entrenched to disrupt I think.

Personally I'd like to see both avenues get shaken up but it's sort of questionable in the long-term, as I see both the "big authorities" and "big players" as having a lot of political overlap and influence. Basically minimize until it goes away (or causes such rot the host dies).
I read the article first to give it a chance and I have to say you're correct in your diagnosis.

The author's main issue with his writing style is he makes logical leaps without bringing the user along. He jumps from topic to topic without letting the user know why he's doing so.

I think the piece can be improved with some structural changes. So I would recommend the author or other readers consider this style for structurally formulating arguments for essays or presentations [1] often used at McKinsey.

(Note: I know McKinsey gets a lot of hate around here sometimes, but given their ability to consult with C-suite leadership, they're probably pretty good at formulating arguments/persuasion)

I've never driven a Jimmy, but my brother had an S10. And it didn't get anywhere close to 26 mpg. And many factory 4wd vehicles don't have locking differentials at the front and rear, although granted the transfer case doesn't have a differential in it. So you still don't have all four wheels gripping the road. If your unlucky, you'll have one tire in the front spinning, and one in the rear.
Yeah I'm with you man. 99% of recruiters are really bad. You should see the recruiters that recruit recruiters. I get as many shit emails and phone calls as you do.

My advice to everyone who is working with a recruiter is look at their linkedin page, see if people have actually recommended them, and make sure they have been there for more than a year. Like you mentioned... There are good recruiters out there but most people who are good move into a higher paying sales job or go internal where there is less stress.
I just don't get why they did that.

Great idea--simple, inexpensive, highly effective when considered relative to its small cost.

Therefore I never expect to see this in a US airport.
That argument would lead you to the conclusion that if your peers are objectively better than you, then it's immoral for you to seek employment; you must improve yourself or choose a different industry. So do you think you are among the world's best in your area of expertise, or are you voluntarily unemployed? ;)
For the vast majority of apps, SOA is detrimental to productivity and maintainability. For some cases it is the right choice but I don't think anyone is arguing that these are the cases for which AR was designed.

" multinationals are allowed to take the resources of the various nation states they operate in while contributing nothing themselves".

I agree with the sentiment that they should receive equal treatment than local/smaller companies, but saying that they contribute "nothing" is unfair and ingenuous, they do in terms of creation of local jobs and the direct and indirect taxes they pay for them.

Full-Duplex Wireless Design
I use the standard hardware encryption of my SSD (a Samsung 830 in my 2012-era Dell XPS 13), which requires I enter the passphrase when I turn my machine on.

Advantages:

- OS neutral
- Seemingly as fast as running 'unencrypted'
(I assume performance is identical, the only
difference being the passphrase is stored in
my head rather than the BIOS)

Disadvantages:

- Limited to an 8-char (!) ASCII passphrase
- I've no idea how secure it really is
- Can't audit the algorithm (not that I have
the technical ability to)
That completely depends on how education of it is executed.
This argument makes no sense. They obviously need a presence in the world's 6th largest economy, otherwise why else would they have said presence.
I didn't mean to suggest people shouldn't write Ruby or that one language is better than the others. I was just stating (and backing up) a fact about web programming. Whether you think it's unfortunate, fortunate, or neutral is up to you.
An Autonomous, Software-Based Venture Capital Fund Just Raised $163M
The Angular team has said over 70% of web apps at Google use Angular, but I can't recall what talks they have said that at off the top of my head. Various members of the Angular team have told me this directy as well, and are pretty open about that fact in general.

One told me about the broken release at one point last year bringing Google to a halt until that got fixed, since Google runs off of the master branch of Angular. Google has a lot of apps, most of them internal (I have seen some external ones too, such as a Nexus site in the past, and Google Domains. Google App Engine and Adwords also use it, as given in talks in the past - the Angular team is grouped under the Ads group within Google). Your original question for proof was completely misguided when accounting for that - examples of external facing apps does not confirm or deny percentage, it was a poorly conceived attack.

Certain apps like Gmail/Inbox go through very long development cycles and have specialized requirements. An Angular team member has explained to me that sometimes some teams think they can do better with vanilla JS - none of the popular web frameworks really met Google's perf/business requirements for those behemoth apps, although with the way Angular 2 is shaping, it likely will hit the bar (the Angular team has managed to get a hello world app smaller than a react-based one, and this is before they extract out the template compiler to allow tree shaking of that for builds - very impressive perf numbers were also thrown at Google I/O last week). Google has a lot of resources they can throw at big consumer facing apps, so they can build homespun frameworks if they need to (for big sites like YouTube, Inbox, Calendar, etc.).

I should also detail that I'm not someone unknowledgable about Angular and how it is used - I am one of the biggest Angular experts outside of Google, a core maintainer of one of the three most largest third party Angular libraries & involved in another top three most used third party library (UI Bootstrap and UI Router, respectively) and a contributor to many projects across the ecosystem. I am very aware of all of the things that are Angular's strengths, and its shortcomings (especially 1, and 2 to a lesser degree...but nobody is really an expert at 2 yet, excepting maybe Tobias Bosch on the Angular 2 team with his crazy work on it).

As a runner, I really don't see the point. I have a gps watch (Garmin) that records distance, time, pace, cadence, etc etc and shows it all to me on my wrist. Sure, there are people out there who just want to track a run but the use case for this - particularly with no display - seems very very limited.
The notes say it is computationally expensive and bad for performance.

Using this selector heavily can have performance implications, as it may force the browser to re-render the page before it can determine visibility. Tracking the visibility of elements via other methods, using a class for example, can provide better performance.

To be clear, it is 17x faster than it was.
I agree with you 100% on security theater, but you have to be careful with "intelligent profiling." Remember that if it involves singling somebody out by race, gender, religion, etc., it's almost certainly unconstitutional in the US.
I forwarded this to the main contributors, thanks for the good feedback. Pepperoni is more of a starter kit to kickstart your React Native development as fast as possible. You get the redux architecture and other solid pieces but there's no internal framework API. I hope that explained the core idea.

Our company still uses it a bunch. Higher powers enjoy the "benefits" of using bootstrap themes which are bundled with a mess of random jquery plugins from around the internet. Our dev team has actually been quite successful at wrapping many of these plugins into react components to abstract away plugin details.

You might like Space Dandy. Japanese again, but they really play around with continuity expectations between their episodes. I'm pretty sure most of s1 is meant to occur simultaneously in parallel realities due to the (lack of) continuity between episodes and occasional story-ending events. It's never really explained. And then s2 seems to tie some of the threads back together into a cohesive story arc over the season. Bonus: it's almost always available on Netflix, with their recent push for more anime.
They can still bruteforce your disk.

> There is nothing that says the feds can't pursue bad cases

It's unfortunate that there isn't something that says that.
Unions have well-defined semantics in that special case, spelled out in ISO C.

I have a copy of C99 handy, where it is paragraph 5 in 6.5.2.3 (Structure and union members):

"One special guarantee is made in order to simplify the use of unions: if a union contains several structures that share a common initial sequence (see below), and if the union object currently contains one of these structures, it is permitted to inspect the common initial part of any of them anywhere that a declaration of the complete type of the union is visible. Two structures share a common initial sequence if corresponding members have compatible types (and, for bit-fields, the same widths) for a sequence of one or more initial members."

The part about "anywhere that a declaration of the complete type of the union is visible" isn't superfluous verbiage: it means that the aliasing doesn't have to go through the union; but it has to be in a region of code where the union is declared. So for instance, it is no longer well-defined if you do this:

// external fun has no idea about the union
external_fun(&c.f);

// exernal_fun is this:

void external_fun(struct foo *pf)
{
struct bar *pb = (struct bar *) pf;
// access through pb
}

Here, c.f is a member of a union where and has a "common initial part" with c.b of the same union object. But this is not known in external_fun which has no declaration of the union and so the translation of external_fun doesn't have to honor this aliasing if there is no completely declared union type in scope which aliases struct foo and struct bar.

(See, C goes out of its way to make it clear that aliasing between different struct types is bad: even when an exception is made, there is weasel wording to carefully contain it!)

The only use the word "neo-conservative" has anymore is to identify people who only know political buzzwords.
Ask HN: What should we do with 5+ year side-project?
Little background: In 2009/10, we(2 of us) thought it would be nice to practice bash commands from Windows using browser. www.webminal.org launched sometime in 2011. Never made serious attempts to market it. Based on user requests, later, we added partial superuser commands with help of openvz/docker. Last year (April-2015) we added paid account for VM Access.

Last 6-months or so, our motivation on this project is going down. Last few weeks, we became very selective in responding to user chat queries/email because our FAQ has answers for them.
Earlier, at-least I used to reply& remind the FAQ section.

Should we just freeze the project (add no feature simply because few user asked for it?) or simply shutdown & be glad at-least we helped few users or try something different as last attempt? thanks!

some stats:
Apr-2015: our user base like 18000+
May-2016: We have like 35000+ users. (thats like 583/month from 2011.)

Our total revenue from this project in the range $300-$500 so far. (yes,that's for 5+ years!!) And monthly expense is like $50.
This is not a small thing: Starve the beast is emphatically a right-wing tactic, and well known one at that. To call it ideologically neutral w/r/t government is blatantly wrong.

Whether it's technically neoconservative or not is a red herring. (Neoconservative being just one subset of the overall conservative movement.)
In Louis Begleys Matters of Honour, there is a similar passage. A big international company in France uses loopholes to not pay taxes, until France strikes back with devastating outcome for the company (don't worry, knowing that spoils nothing important). I think the point is that countries make the law, and companies thinking they can use use the law to act against the interest of countries won't end well. There is precedent.

For Mac, FileVault2. For Debian, LUKS full-disk.

It's tangential, but while on the topic of securing lost laptops, you should also password-protect GRUB and BIOS. Ideally, all three will use different passwords that are relatively long. Properly securing these elements in addition to having full-disk encryption will make your lost laptop useless to the would-be thieves.
100% agree with this (New Hampshire native). Snow tires on an FWD are far better than regular tires on AWD.

AWD means you can accelerate better in the snow and become un-stuck easier. If you want to stop sooner and slip less, snow tires make the real difference, not AWD.

There's a reason snow tires are mandatory in Iceland (illegal to not have them) from November onwards.
MJM46 here (this is not a cl ad... it's a paean to my car) and I loved my Subaru Outback wagon.

It was a challenge to get a 2.5i without the turbo but with the 5-speed manual, apparently the target demographics want automatic transmissions or high-strung engines. It perfectly fit with my life of young kids, upstate NY winters, and carting around stuff. It was more fuel and space efficient than the Honda Pilot we owned prior. It was almost unstoppable in snow with the right tires and smooth use of the throttle. It carried more than the VW's we had over the years.

I wrote letters when they announced the boxer diesel engine, http://www.boxerdiesel.com/, asking them to import it to the USA and once got a polite response that they were looking into it. Buyers like me are still waiting.

Sadly my wife didn't like the seats or interior and we couldn't beat the fuel economy of a Toyota Prius when we were driving several hundred miles per week. I wasn't a fan of the engine compartment (changing plugs and coils was okay for three of the four, the fourth was awful) but I didn't have problems with head gaskets, etc. that I've heard about.

How Technology Design Hijacks the Mind
Never noticed that Kickstarter has live updates for money and backers.. It's crazy how fast they sell (probably in part due to the earlybird specials), almost 1k USD / second.

That being said, it almost feels like an abuse of the platform. It's their third generation of smartwatches after all. I really like the new models with heart monitor though and now they've also added a pure fitness tracker-like device.
If this works as well as advertised, I'm definitely tossing my Fitbit Charge HR. What a colossal waste of money that was.
Nope, original comment was nothing to do with stupidity or racism, just human nature that it's easier to lay the blame abroad rather than look inward.

I know and have debated many people on differing sides of the UK/EU referendum here in England. None of them I consider to be stupid or racist. But they are blaming Europe for all of Britain's woes instead of looking inward. The EU is a net benefit, but just last week we've had otherwise intelligent people scaremongering about Turkey joining the EU and hundreds of thousands of Turkish people swarming the border. It's a crass and absurd lie, and it's downright manipulative.

I never claimed any kind of "psychological pathology" either. That would imply mental illness which is not correct at all. I mentioned a very common human trait which we're almost all guilty of at some point or other.

You seem to enjoy putting a lot of words in my mouth that I never said. I think I'll end this here rather than waste my time attempting debate.
I love the concept of the Core, because I often leave my phone at home. Unfortunately it requires a country whith a mature and affordable mobile internet infrastructure, neither of which applies to Germany.
So let's raid the place. Excellent idea. Which judge is going to issue a judgement against Google if they're not breaking any tax laws? I would expect any issues to pop up quite fast during a routine audit of their accounts.

Some thoughts:

1. I think it will be better if in the Terms of Use [1] is also provided in English.

2. I read the ToS because I'm interested on who owns the IP of the game or assets made in this platform

3. By "remaking" current games, does that mean everyone is forced to "open-source" their "source codes"?
