Sorry, I think I fixed it while you were typing out your post?

Atmosphere conditions are usually a bit better at 9km up than at sea level. If the numbers weren't quite so bad there would be a case for detachable JATO units to get a solar plane off the ground, which then fly back to the airport to launch the next plane.

... and I forgot the speed of sound gets slower at altitude. It would need to do mach 1.6 to stay under the sun.
I really don't understand your point. I did pick up on the fact that you may be assuming or insinuating that I'm under 40, conservative or brainless. That's a really shitty thing of you to write regardless of whether or not you meant it that way.

So, since I have no idea what your point was, can you rephrase your post? What was your point?
> Uber did just fine starting as a pay service as do a great many games, Netflix, HBO, Amazon, etc.

I think that's an unfair comparison for two reasons:
(1) People were already comfortable with the idea of paying for cabs, cable, games, books/electronics in the old world. Whereas the current norm is _not_ to pay for social media services.

(2) A transportation service, game, streaming video service, e-retailer can deliver value to their first customer. A social network is only valuable if others are using it. If Spark / Twitter 2.0 launches tomorrow, even if they can provide a bunch of product improvements over Twitter 1.0, the first users have no reason to pay b/c they're joining an empty / worthless conversation, so at launch it's almost necessary to allow people to join for free. And this creates the norms described in (1).

Hole punching still exists in the V6 world if you want an app to do P2P from behind stateful V6 firewalls. It requires a three party handshake just like V4 NAT traversal. But unlike NAT traversal it nearly always works since there are no symmetric NAT nightmares.

V6 should make all this cruft go away but it doesn't.
Please do consider keeping the standalone apps. Not having my passwords stored on someone else's server (encrypted or not) is why I'm a 1Password user (and likely buying an upgrade license this month to load it on my other windows box). Similarly why I've bought and upgraded Arq to store backups on storage I control.
There's a lot of value on doing this, but GP idea has its value. For starters, there's some survivorship bias, as you cannot map people who have already died.

You may also want to gather more detailed data that the medical history usually conveys, such as sub-clinical conditions and other non-pathological differences.

The solution is simple. You presume he's innocent, so you offer him a job. The whole "life ruined" argument depends on literally every possible employer making the same guilty assumption that you say nobody should make.

Fair point, although I'd replace WeChat with SnapChat (WeChat being created by Tencent).

I don't think it's impossible to convert a large non-monetizing user-base into a profitable company (Google, Facebook, Snapchat, etc.) but I think that strategy is not a wise one for someone interested in building a sustainable company. There's a bigger reward to scaling before monetizing, but there's also a bigger gamble.
A user can always start their own SSH server. Just because you've decided to move it to a different port doesn't really encourage them. I suppose you could make this a bit more difficult for them by removing compilers (no really, you don't need compilers everywhere) and making sshd owned by root, mode 700...

However, proper ingress filtering or local iptables/pf rules would stop any unwanted inbound traffic from reaching your server, and you should definitely be using ingress and egress filtering on your network.
> The operation of the judicial system is how we establish facts in the scenario where a person is accused to wrongdoing.

No, its how the justice system determines whether fact claims are adequately supported to apply legal sanctions.

Individuals are free to determine and speak on their conclusions as to the truth of fact claims independent of judicial conclusions; this is a fairly fundamental freedom (reflected in the first amendment) and essential to the marketplace of ideas.
My view of this is evolving, particularly in the context of a Presidential election.

There is zero fair play at that level of politics, and if you have been coddled on your path to that chair in any way, including expectations of the orderly and fair appraisal of the absolute merits of your platform, you are unprepared.

I'm saying that Clinton, with all her party machinations, is proving that she understands and has controls over real levers of power, which in turn, suggests she is capable of operating at the level required for that position.

Sanders came in expecting a fair fight, and that's completely unrealistic, naive, little league politics. If you can't survive your party's nominating process, whatever that is, you are a light snack for the players at that level.
Ceres lacks really big craters, which is weird
The calculator is fun to use but it doesn't - and can't - take into account many factors. For example, the level of competency, productivity, brainpower, personality, and so on.
I think the market is over-exuberant right now for sure, but I also feel that people like the Bay Area because the Bay Area is an exceedingly pleasant place to live. This market has hit a little perfect storm of pricing and may correct, but I think the longview is that Bay Area housing prices will just keep marching up.

A lot of the price of homes is the land, which means that (barring local regulation) homes will begin to be built up a lot more. Already on my residential street there is a 7 story live/work building going in where a pottery store used to be. Density will lower renting costs but the land itself will remain valuable.
Ya, in general I agree with you. Just listing a few more exceptions to the rule. Also, I can't believe I left out SnapChat! Showing my age there aren't I?
I also live close to a very busy intersection and I have to agree with you. I'll add though that when you leave your window open then general car noise definitely becomes a problem, and also wanted to add that I for myself would ban honking, it's one of the worst feelings in the world to be woken up at 8 in the morning by guys or ladies honking their car for 5 seconds or more.
Someone needs to write a program called "dedazzeler" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazzle_camouflage, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedazzler) that can identify and remove the camouflage from vehicles that automakers so often like to use.
There are many barriers to entry to get a name on the ballot, and political parties will rally together to help jump through those hoops to get specific names on. If there were lower barriers to entry, the ballots would be flooded.

I think the barriers to entry should likely remain high, but we need an overhaul of the voting system itself to break the two-party system, which itself is just a side-effect of the mechanics of our voting process, not anything mandated.

If I remember correctly, early on in the country's history the founders noticed that the mechanics of voting were trending towards a limited two-party system, and that consternated them. Most every (if not actually every) democracy established after the USA has a voting style and representative bodies that allows more parties to coexist, or creative destruction within the set of active parties to thrive.

you're making a semantics of language argument? really?

you said "it was his actions". this asserts that you know, positively, what his actions were. do you really? I said you should not act like you are the judge or jury because I find it highly unlikely that you really know the facts of the case. I don't think anyone really knows the facts of the case, and we never will, because there won't be a fair trial.
"On a scale of 1:10, with 10 being Completely Happy..." would have made much more interesting data, but a more difficult infographic.
This is good news for a healthy Node.js ecosystem, but I can't see what’s in it for Microsoft. V8-based Node.js works fine on Windows and Azure, so they don’t need this to attract Node.js developers and the npm ecosystem to their platform.

Are there any theories about how this (presumably substantial) investment makes business sense for MS?
I feel like your comment would be more useful if you were to raise your concern (which you did) and suggest some books written by women you think warrant inclusion on the list. Otherwise you're just complaining.
> Some principles as far as I understand them

(on LUA_PATH/LUA_CPATH/PATH)

If it's a .lua file, it goes in LUA_PATH. Lua libraries with collections of files usually have a main file and a folder, so libXXX might have a main file XXX.lua and a folder XXX with auxiliary files. In this case, the main file and folder go into the same directory on the LUA_PATH.

.dll (linux: .so) files that are lua module entry points, i.e. they are loaded by the lua executable itself when you do a "require", go in LUA_CPATH.

You can see why by typing require"XXX" into the lua console - it'll say that XXX was not found and print out a list of LUA_(C)PATH entries that it searched for - note that .dll and .lua ones are looked for in different directories. So require"lib" will find a lib.lua on the LUA_PATH or a lib.dll (lib.so) on the LUA_CPATH.

If it's a dll that's not loaded through a require, but from one dll to another - like the lua ssl library loads the openSSL ones (libssl32.dll) - then it goes wherever the operating system looks for libraries, since it's the OS and not lua that'll be doing the looking. On windows the PATH is a good place to start, on linux I usually set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to pick up ones in non-standard locations.
"Phone/tablet with infinite storage." Everything in cloud with transparent local cache, not a sync metaphor. File granularity, not folders. Next-gen compared to Dropbox, which replaced hard drives and then flash drives for syncing home and work.

Competes more with iCloud than Dropbox. Will probably try and get acquired by Apple/Google.

You're right, it's usually in low-mid $10ks for this sort of thing.

Can't speak to government, but multiple large companies I have worked for have mandated LastPass as the password manager.

> But even then your grey market for this is tiny and most likely not going to be some criminal overlord paying out $100k in bitcoin to kids on a darknet forum.

In fact that's almost exactly what it is, except you've underestimated the price. A really juicy iOS RCE or Privesc can fetch almost half a million.

These transactions aren't usually done on forums, though. Not enough trust. There are middlemen who buy exploits from researchers and sell to the big customers.
Just curious, what's everybody's pace around here? It took me about a month to casually get through "Ready Player One" (great book BTW), and that was for a book club. It seems like a lot of the people I respect get through about a book a week. Either they're lying or have such good focus to avoid distractions other than books. Maybe I could put down the HN for a bit.

Rationally irrational

This spirit of this comment has been replicated verbatim every year for the last 5 years by some random HN commenter.

I guess, eventually, it might be true.
A data warehouse should use much fewer transactions though.
Are We Ready for Secure Languages? – CurryOn
Morally, they have the right to decide who they want to associate with.
I understand the concern, but please keep in mind that for many (if not most) victims of sexual harassment face considerable skepticism when they bring their claims forward, and that much of psychological trauma of sexual harassment arises from getting the authorities or the public or even their own friends to acknowledge that such harassment occurred in the first place. In that sense, Tor's announcement is less about Jacob per se and more about reassuring the victims (or people worried about becoming victims) that there's a place for them in the Tor community.

I don't have any answers for how you reconcile that with Jacob's presumed innocence or the risk that everyone got it wrong. Especially if the victims are unable or unwilling to bring legal charges. But I'm not sure how Tor would be able to move forward without some sort of public acknowledgement of Jacob's actions.
Getting to know Julia
> Sanders came in expecting a fair fight

There are two senses of "expect", one about factual expectations (what you think will happen) and one about moral expectations (what you think should happen). There is plenty of efforts from Sanders efforts to impose accountability from very early on for variously ways the DNC seemed to be putting its finger on the scale that Sanders "expected" a fair fight in the second sense, and was prepared to fight to make the fight as fair as possible.

There's zero evidence I can see that Sanders "expected" a fair fight in the first sense, which is what you seem to be suggesting.
yeah, you just invented GWAS (genome wide association studies), something done on huge scale but obviously you always need more data and better features.

It' so wide spread to be considered a belief on its own:

The individual plan is the lowest cost subscription option, and standalone is an option if you would like to try to spread the cost out between releases, but you would have to pay for any major upgrades as those are not included.

I'd say many people don't need the Pro features in the iOS version, it's possible that maybe you won't either? Depends on how you use it I guess. Probably the biggest reason to get the Pro features is multiple vault support (you can add additional vaults that were created from the desktop versions). With the free version you only get the one vault.

If you use the app like most people, you'll be using it dozens of times a day. Even if it's in small interactions those do add up. I've been trying to convince the team to add some sort of individual statistics that were stored locally for users to see, but I suspect this would probably help you decide that regardless of price it would be worth while :)

In the end, the choice is yours though. We certainly want to hit the price point for all users that we can, but we do have to keep the lights on or the product disappears. We aren't priced at a point where we're trying to acquire users in bulk so we can sell to another company. AgileBits is privately owned and has never taken outside funding. Something to be aware of when you're talking pricing I suppose. At least one factor.

There are crimes I can be accused of that will enhance my reputation rather than diminish it. There are perfectly legal things I could be accused of that would destroy my career and my social relationships. If your argument is about reputational damage, then using criminality as the threshold for "It's not ok to make a public accusation" is entirely arbitrary.

"Negroes not allowed" on an entrance would count as just words. And yet those words perform a locutionary act and enforce behavior.

Yes speech is not the same thing as actively hitting someone or throwing someone out of a club. But At the same time there are classes of speech which cause direct harm.

To be pedantic about it, words can cause physical pain, fear, stress and anxiety. So words have been demonstrated to cause physical harm.

In short: your erecting a false dichotomy/comparison. There is violent speech, and yes it's not the same as physical violence. It's not considered to be.

Additionally, I think your short sentence encapsulates a particularly incorrect assessment of the modern world, and especially life "online".

Online Life is locution. An unusually large portion of ones persona lives in words exchanged online. All actions that occur which silence someone, elevate someone else, instruct, confuse, insult or praise do so through words. Speech is everything online.

The Human Toll of Terror
Along similar lines let me recommend a couple of Adam Gopnik pieces on Trump and fascism:

http://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/going-there-with...

http://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/being-honest-abo...

This in particular echoes Eco:

The arguments about whether [Trump] meets every point in some static fascism matrix show a misunderstanding of what that ideology involves. It is the essence of fascism to have no single fixed form—an attenuated form of nationalism in its basic nature, it naturally takes on the colors and practices of each nation it infects. In Italy, it is bombastic and neoclassical in form; in Spain, Catholic and religious; in Germany, violent and romantic. It took forms still crazier and more feverishly sinister, if one can imagine, in Romania, whereas under Oswald Mosley, in England, its manner was predictably paternalistic and aristocratic. It is no surprise that the American face of fascism would take on the forms of celebrity television and the casino greeter’s come-on, since that is as much our symbolic scene as nostalgic re-creations of Roman splendors once were Italy’s.

What all forms of fascism have in common is the glorification of the nation, and the exaggeration of its humiliations, with violence promised to its enemies, at home and abroad; the worship of power wherever it appears and whoever holds it; contempt for the rule of law and for reason; unashamed employment of repeated lies as a rhetorical strategy; and a promise of vengeance for those who feel themselves disempowered by history.
If it's got the same functionality and the same design as the Japanese product but only "sells at a fraction of the price" compared to the original product then they must be doing something better than the Japanese.

It's either lower wages, better productivity or both, either way, it's better for us, consumers, which now have additional money to spend on other products and services which further enrich our lives (where additional money = Price of the Japanese product - Price of the Chinese product).
I think the fundamental thing you're missing is that a gene's behavior throughout your life depends on more than just its sequence. Everything else that goes on in your body, and in particular everything that goes in and comes out of your body, can impact when genes are triggered to form proteins, how those proteins fold, and what effect the proteins have.

At best, gene sequence data like you describe could provide rough probabilities for some health conditions. That's as likely to lead to over-treatment for a non-problem as catching a real problem early.

Sure, there would be some cases where everyone who has a certain sequence winds up with the same disease, and it'd be good to discover those early in life. (Ex: my wife was born with Wilson's Disease, which causes liver failure by early adulthood 100% of the time without treatment.) But those cases would probably be very few compared to the number of people who get freaked out by things that might become an issue, but probably won't, and the cases where the correlation is too weak to provide a warning, but a health problem occurs.
You completely lost me here. Violence can happen through a variety of mechanisms. There's no body that can insist that only the physical tearing of flesh or bone is encapsulated by the word 'violence'.
I think it depends. I take months to finish a book casually, but when a true page-turned like "Ready Player One" pops up, I blazed through it in days. I think there's a need for active reader engagement, where there is incentive ("It's going to be a movie directed by Steven Spielberg and music composed by John Williams!") to enjoy the fruits of being cool before it becomes cool.

It looks like they perform better on 50/675 tests, and worse on 500/675 tests. That is not particularly compelling. Since that was a while ago now, I really would prefer to see where improvements have been made.
Actually, what we have now in the US is full blown fascism, which technically means the government and corporations together in a "fasces," a bundle of sticks.

Calls for caution in the face of the madness of our current immigration and essentially open borders, and for taking radical Islamism seriously, don't amount to anything like fascism.
