SpaceX deliberately engineered lower performance, higher reliability engines. Think minivan instead of Ferrari. The SSMEs were genuine marvels of engineering, but that came at significant cost to reusability.

The mastermind (if you can call him that) of the November attacks last year, Salah Abdeslam, was also a petty criminal and was radicalized only recently before the attacks were carried out. At least one of the gunmen also had prior convictions for petty crime.

3 out of 5 of the attackers in Brussels this year also had prior convictions for non-religious crime (I wouldn't consider robbing a bank to be petty).

It's the same mechanism that makes Bloods and Crips.
Interesting how this event in the 1950's presages the failures of missiles-only fighters in Vietnam and the eventual return of guns as standard equipment.

Have them offline and copy the raw drive/tape to trusted 3rd party (as they must do regularly for backups anwyway) and have that 3rd party query the data. Or if the data is old enough, have them just copy the backup to the 3rd party.

This should eliminate any query expense they would have had (as it's been replaced by raw data copy expense.)

And the 3rd party is to protect the data you're not supposed to get.
The renters often pay less maintenance than the owners. It's true that they pay some of it - but not all. The idea that the owners can pass along full maintenance costs in the form of rent is also a fallacy Yes, the downpayment. The downpayment could be invested in a diversified basket of assets instead.
The research on used components would also immensely help in the design of new rockets for spacex.
The same problem exists with business loans.

I'm aware of svchost, however I'm not sure I agree with his comment about the technique being "outdated" without more information on what he meant precisely. Did he mean that...

using a monolithic process is outdated?

using a shared process is outdated?

using threads is outdated?

trying to conserve RAM in this fashion is outdated?

svchost in Windows in particular is outdated?

Starting services on a 'need to run' basis is outdated?

...and quite a few other options. It seems to me like all OSs have similar facilities, so I'm not sure what he means that would not apply to other OSs.

It's "the best" in the sense of being the classiest (but definitely not the most powerful as a standalone passport, it would be ranked pretty low in the featured site). Obviously, it also has immense value in supporting the fact that you're UN staff.
And they have more applicants than job openings, and folks willing to put in lots of overtime because the car factories are the best jobs in the area. If the factory dies, the town dies. They are probably still catered to with discount apartments and other such things.
Microsoft's Office Lens is pretty good. There's also TinyScanner.
I think the main problem is that we have our heads contaminated by too much "news". We live in constant fear, even when statistically we are less violent than ever.

For instance, terrorism works when its actions are published for the more people to see as possible. Statistically you have more probabilities of chocking to death on your breakfast or slipping in the shower than dying from a terrorist action in Europe/US.

Rational thought is on the backseat... So hence the pessimism and thoughts that something bad is comming.

I'm not sure whether they care or not, but anecdotally, I've been waiting ~2 years for an up to date Retina MacBook Pro with a refreshed, up to date intel CPU.
There are scores of jobs in areas such as retail management that don't care what your degree was in, only that you have a degree from somewhere in something. In some, you'll get hired in as a fast-tracker to management with training and such, others you'll find opportunity with just a bit of retail experience (having a job through college can be enough). Sometimes the same is true for secretarial positions, and I'm guessing these sorts of qualifiers are everywhere.
CamScanner has been excellent for me. Anything less than $5 is a great deal for it.

Am I correct in assuming that chrome is now a keylogger in regards to your url bar, and perhaps clipboard?
Our goal with AXbean QuikBots was to do the impossible: turn MS Excel, the most complicated popular software in the world, into the simplest and most user-friendly software ever.

That meant reimagining every feature to make it not only faster to learn and to get projects done, but also better. The result is more than just a new tool. It's the future of Select, Click, and Done.

And now, with over 25 of the most popular and most used features at your control, Excel is even more capable. And so are you.

I already acknowledged that so there is no need to make that point again and again.
you just pasted a wall of text about AMD's use of ARM processors, and not ARM TrustZone, which is what we were talking about.

While AMD's use of ARM processors (and with it, TrustZone) to fashion a security blackbox on your chip is dishonest and terrifying, it is not evidence that TrustZone is what you're saying it is. I invite you to research more into TrustZone, so you'll be less afraid of ARM.
This is almost certainly not truly a physical problem. It is not normal to hurt yourself seriously and repeatedly doing normal physical activity. Do all of your tennis, biking, and swimming buddies end up with serious chronic pain?

You likely have a deeper physiological problem that the physical activity is bringing to the surface.

I can't help though, because I don't have mobility/physical issues and so I don't research it much. My friend who is very smart and has mobility/back issues says that this is the best book on the topic in the world, though: https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Supple-Leopard-2nd-Performan...
Seriously, who cares? Everyone of us will have to deal at some point in life with people that look down upon us for stupid reasons.

That doesn't give you an excuse to kill 100 random strangers!

It is their culture that causes this, as they have a loud group that constantly calls for these massacres and generally very few of them speak up against this loud group of fanatics.

We don't have anything like that in our culture, that's why it's so rare that somebody from us ends up mass murdering 100 random persons.

If someone from us tried calling for mass murdering some minority he'll actually be locked up in no time and attacked harshly by the media. That's how we effectively deal with our radicals.

I'm tired of all these attempts to appease members of this culture as it is clearly a much worse culture than ours and they could actually learn something from us.

Where ever Muslims are the majority you always see the same result: Poverty, cruel law system, oppression, massacre and often civil war

And somehow no one seems to be willing to accept that this is the direct result of their value system and their culture.

How are they ever going to improve their societies if we help their fanatics to keep oppressing dissenters by constantly repeating that their culture is great and everything's fine?

Edit: And because I'm sure someone will state that this is unfair because we constantly meddle in their affairs: We also constantly meddle in Russian, Chinese, Indian, Japanese and EU affairs and vice versa.

Still these societies seem to be sufficiently resilient to not collapse in mass murder and total chaos.

Muslim societies constantly collapsed when Socialism was en vogue 50 years ago same as they collapse today with Islamism. You can promote any -Ism you want there, nothing will change as long as the oppressive nature of their culture doesn't change.

The consumer gets 100% gasoline in either case. Forcing the oil companies to buy biodiesel does not force them to give it to consumers. The RID abstraction is a completely separate issue from whether anyone actually wants biodiesel.
I wonder who's going to sign up to put their cargo on the first refurb rocket? I suppose SpaceX will be offering steep discounts in order to prove the prototype.
I believe the calculations aren't quite correct. The return on the S&P is higher than the return on housing in a typical market. That's the whole point of the parent article. Consider a typical market like Chicago area. Prices still haven't recovered from the housing bust
Logical fallacy. Just because there are counterexamples doesn't mean a claim is false. If I say "humans eat meat", the claim is not false because I found a vegetarian.

I like the idea (and we have the same retarded sense of humor) but it isn't consistently useful. I searched "hilary bosnia sniper fire" and got nothing.

So spend less resources on your design and more on functionality.

EDIT: Additional feedback: Your product doesn't work. If you test it yourself for a few minutes you'll see that. It is your job to test it, not the world's. You're not "getting it out there" so much as turning people away forever because they will think "I've already tried that; it didn't work". This is kinda like when my programmer employees/contractors tell me that they finished a feature but I know they never bothered to try it because it doesn't work at all.
Low-traffic Wikipedia articles often feature a mix of referenced facts and confused opinions (eg. the sentence you're quoting, which almost seems to be a joke statement). Hit me pretty hard in university when I put complete garbage about plant classification in my (admittedly rushed) dissertation.

The two things that I can think of is p2p encryption, but such things could be hard to include in such an old protocol and it could raise some compability issues with old clients and libraries.
Worse, they figured harder problems out -- they had solved the delivery problem in suburban and rural areas for large items. there was a Sears franchise network where you could pick up stuff delivered by an 18 wheeler or rail rather than wait for parcel post or ups.
I can't actually find this screen anywhere.
I did read the RAND paper, when it came out months ago, and I double-checked the traffic accident per mile citation and the power calculation as well. Their point is irrelevant because their fleet size estimate is ludicrously small, and their statistics is a little dodgy as well: it should be a one-tailed test (since the important question is only if the Tesla is worse than a human driver), and if one wanted to debate the statistics, this is somewhere that Bayesian decision theory minimizing expected lives lost would be much more appropriate, and that approach would roll out self-driving cars well before a two-sided binomial test yielded p<0.05.
...And people start to take sniping cops as a given pastime.
Err, you're the one making the logical fallacy. The parent said "There are never any consequences for the individual government employees who break the law" and the counterexamples disprove that. "X never happens" is false if I find examples of X happening, by definition of "never". QED.

Ta-da! Now don't spend any other effort on this problem.
I suspect there would be enough of value that could be stripped off the ship and removed to make it worth the pirate's time. Bear in mind that it doesn't matter to pirates if they cause millions of dollars of damage to extract a small fraction of that for themselves.

Cripple a hugely valuable ship and destroy much of its equipment and cargo to extract a few hundred thousand dollars worth of stuff that you can take with you? Sounds like a reasonable deal for a group of pirates. Hell, they might as well try and sink the ship once they are done with it to make it hard to gather evidence and determine exactly what was stolen.

It would take some time for people to do the math to determine what components of ships and common cargo have the highest value Vs their portability but someone would figure it out eventually.
> The renters often pay less maintenance than the owners. It's true that they pay some of it - but not all. The idea that the owners can pass along full maintenance costs in the form of rent is also a fallacy.

If that was the case the landlord would be taking a loss on the property, since rent is the only appreciable form of revenue the landlord gets for the property. How do you think the landlord can avoid passing on the full cost of maintenance and still make money? Don't forget that the landlord still has to pay some amount of maintenance even when the property is unoccupied.

> Yes, the downpayment. The downpayment could be invested in a diversified basket of assets instead.

So it really depends on how much the down payment is then, and how much the down payment reduces the cost of housing. You can't make a blanket statement either way.
Yes, that is all understood. The fact remains, however, that they are basically subverting what that lock means. It's ALL ON THE COMPANY, but I can't tell as a user that they have broken it, and in fact, my browser is SAYING it's secure. The company is deciding to make it lie. THAT IS A PROBLEM.

I actually posted another comment, previously in this story's discussion, mentioning high-altitude kite propelled container ships. You'd probably still need to burn something (or somehow otherwise) turn screws for maneuvering and propulsion in coastal waters, but that's a small fraction of the fuel burned each crossing.
ITS was good. For something a little more recognizable (and probably more achievable on current hardware), MS-DOS was actually pretty good from the hacker's point of view (and FreeDOS continues that legacy).

I say this because DOS was an OS that didn't get in your way. No, it didn't afford you any conveniences, really. It gave you a (shitty) file system, command line, program loader, a handful of utilities, and practically nothing else. Not exactly user-friendly. However, it also gave you completely unfettered access to the underlying hardware. The Intel reference manuals and a good assembler, and you could do literally anything. Since it was single-tasking, once your program was loaded, it had complete control and owned the entire physical address space. There was nothing to prevent you from calling into the BIOS, or doing I/O willy-nilly to ports, peeking/poking randomly into memory, etc. There's a reason why several OS's were bootstrapped on top of DOS, including Windows: it gave you just enough conveniences that you didn't have to start from total scratch, but it did so little that it never got in your way or otherwise prevented you from doing whatever you wanted.

I occasionally fire up FreeDOS on an old P2 or in a VM and just tinker. If I were to produce a real product, I'd obviously be better off writing something for Linux or BSD kernelspace, but for exploring the way hardware gets programmed on its lowest level, DOS is pretty indispensable. I'd liken the difference between low-level programming on DOS and the same on Linux/BSD to the difference between using an interactive interpreter and a batch compiler. It really can enable low-level experimentation in much the same way.

Anyway, ITS was the bee's knees.
Food and consumables for the ISS, or low-cost satellite launch are likely targets.

A kilogram of water on Earth is worth a few pennies. In space, it's worth $5,000 - $10,000. The value-add difference is the launch cost.

Take a bunch of cheap stuff you'd like to have (but don't need essentially, and can readily replace), and pack it on a refurbed booster. If successful, you've gained a few thousand dollars per kg mass. If failed, you're only out the source materials (and the booster, though since this is a test, it's the outcome that's most significant).
This one seems to do a credible job of fixing the curvature (what I meant by distortion).
Where's the man bites dog?
The great man who cures all known diseases, Dr Sebi is a healer, pathologist, herbalist, biochemist and naturalist, who immigrated from Honduras and who has committed his life to the service of helping people cure their diseases. In 1988, he took on the Attorney General of New York in a Supreme Court trial where he was being sued for false advertisement and practice without a license after placing ads in a number of newspapers, including the New York Post where he had announced: "Aids has been cured by the Usha Research Institute, and we specialize in cures for Sickle Cell, Lupus, Blindness, Herpes, Cancer, Als and others. Pre-trial, the judge had asked Dr. Sebi provide one witness per disease he had claimed to cure however when 77 in person witnesses joined him in court, the judge had no choice but to proclaim the Doctor NOT GUILTY on all accounts, proving he did in fact have the cure to all the diseases mentioned in the newspapers. Several celebrities have sought out healing through the Doctor including: Michael Jackson, Magic Johnson, Eddie Murphy, John Travolta and the deceased Lisa Left Eye Lopes who proclaims in the video: "I know a man who has been curing AIDS since 1987".. i want to inform the public how i was cured from ALS(MND) by Dr Sebi, i visited different hospital but they gave me list of drugs which is very expensive to treat the symptoms and never cured me. I was browsing through the Internet searching for remedy on ALS and i saw comment of people talking about how Dr Sebi cured them from ALS, CANCER, HERPES, DIABETES and so on... when i contacted him he gave me hope and send a Herbal medicine to me through courier service that i took and it seriously worked for me, am a free person now without problem, my ALS result came out negative. I pray for you Dr Sebi. Am fully cured. you can also get your self cured my friends if you really need my doctor help, you can reach him now: (drsebiherbalisthealinghome12@gmail.com) You are indeed a HERO!
Well, the Digital Mars C/C++ compiler still supports DOS programming (I just can't seem to let that go!)
