It's likely a design defect coupled with failing breaks and high winds. Modern windmills rotate their blades to keep operating at a range of wind speeds without that winds can apply insane amounts of force which may have lead to over RPMing the generator causing a fire.
My daughter is only two, but she is clearly smart. Some people tell her how smart she is, but I largely do not. What I try to do instead is to encourage her to keep trying and keep pushing and that failure is temporary. When she was one and learning to climb up and down stairs (which she loves to do over and over again), I would keep telling her "you can do it" as she went down each step and tried to gauge whether or not she could go further. When she was finished I would tell her, "you did it," and she started saying "I did it" when she completed a flight.

She also stumbles and falls a lot as we climb different things and walk over different surfaces. I tell her "keep going" or "you've got this" and she gets right back up and keeps trying. I find that if you focus on saying that she'll be alright or making sure she is not hurt (when she is clearly not), she'll dwell on that, start crying and stop doing what she is doing.

This story and the other links published here got me thinking about this. Innate ability is clearly important when you really think about it, but what I want to instill is this idea that it's normal and natural to fail along the way to success and that even if you are really talented at something, you'll have setbacks.

I use an Advantage at work and a standard laptop keyboard at home and I would have to disagree. Using the Kinesis was a challenge the first week or so, but it never interfered with my typing on normal keyboards. The worst habit I picked up is occasionally mixing up + and ~, but that's not related to the matrix layout.

“Making Special Occasions Surprising  Is Our Moto ” – BYE Surprises
Surprises are one of those little joys of life which makes our life happy and joyful. Surprising loved one’s once in a while keeps the magic alive in a relationship. This is what they believed in and started 'BYE - Surprises'. "Surprising people on their special occasions is what we do.
"It all started when one of my friends from abroad approached me to surprise his fiancée on her birthday. I did this for my friend and after seeing the happiness on their faces, I realized how lucky I was to be the reason for someone's smile. It forced me to think about the people who are staying away from their families and friends. What if they wanted to celebrate their spouse/friend's birthdays? Or if someone staying away from their parents wants to be part of their Anniversary?
How about lovers? What if they wanted to surprise them on their proposal day?
That is when ‘BYE Surprises’ was born.

How does the "BYE Deliver Model" work?

> Too many identical days and weeks which get compressed into nothing. Few new memories will be made. Your life will feel much shorter and uneventful.

It is profound that I'm not the only one who quit a day job because of this exact reason. This is a biological fact. Your brain compresses memories that are too similar down into the smallest size possible. The result is that a year can often feel like a week, with a few memorable weekends and absolutely nothing else.

This is utterly frightening, and can feel like you've hit the fast forward button on your life and are careening towards the end.
It's a network effect, if you abandon street level for a wide area it can work really well. Considering the cost and impact of this change it's worth considering for other city's less focused on tourists.

Any retort on any sensitive topic can be argued as fanning the flames of hate, as disagreement clearly not going to pacify anyone. The problem with is, if you don't express your dissent, hold yourself "above all that", bite your tongue, you let them run their narrative unchallenged.

Being from Belarus I used to have plenty acquaintances and relatives in Russia; perhaps three of them did not succumb to self-righteous jingoism and hate in the last couple years. I admire the few people there who have strength and stamina to remain sane. But they are not any more representative of Russia now than few sane Germans were of Germany in 1939.

Well, more so, they have a pretty clear definition of what they mean by "nightmare scenario"; it would have nice to have their claim much earlier in the article followed by the rest of the history, but I really wouldn't call it clickbait. But I can really see why it's considered a "nightmare" given what the article is suggesting. Like, clickbait is shitty, but this case really isn't. It is eyecatching though.

In some other countries prison is seen as a place for rehabilitation or at worst a way to protect the public from unstable individuals.
It makes it easy to verify that the high-level semantics are only those allowed by the language. It's fairly easy to look at an AST and tell if it is a legal construct in your language.

>Is it? Does it make it possible to argue about such things as that mappings can be fused, for example?

It makes it possible to know that you are "fusing mappings." In the assembly language, you would have a hard time knowing that this is what you were doing, since it communicates semantics with too much granularity.
About 3 years ago, I had the chance to continue in particle physics for my Ph.D. specifically working for a CMS group. However, I felt SUSY had no real evidence then, and looking specifically at the "ground breaking" search that the group was undertaking, amongst others, and the pitiful results they had, I betted against SUSY and switched groups.

It looks like my bet was right. I miss the math in HEP but I feel somewhat justified. I'm not sure what this means for HEP going forward. May be scientists can move the goalposts but will funders be as sympathetic?
Thank you for the generous offer, I definitely will!
This type of behaviour unfortunately seems to be becoming a trend. While not nearly as bad as a raid, Facebook called out a US county prosecutor for attempting to have a page criticising local officials removed in its last transparency report:

Date: October 2015

Content: A page protesting a county animal control agency.

Request: We received a request from a county prosecutor's office to remove a page opposing a county animal control agency, alleging that the page made threatening comments about the director of the agency and violated laws against menacing.

Result: We reviewed the content and determined that the page did not contain credible threats and therefore did not violate our Community Standards. We took no other action on the page for reasons of the public interest.

You can get into Ford Rangers of a certain year range by unscrewing the antenna and sticking it into little holes underneath the handle. You catch it on the lock rod and use friction to work it up. It was really helpful for me whenever I locked my keys in my truck. At first it takes awhile to get the trick of it, but by the time I traded it in, it only took me a few seconds.

I suppose I should have been worried that other people can do that too, but my truck never got broken into or stolen to my knowledge. Security through obscurity. I now drive a Mazda with key fob and push-button ignition. It's got its own vulnerabilities but I'll let the insurance company worry about that.

So you just pointed out another paradox: Products have trusted brands, retailers don't. People know and trust the products they use, not who sold it to them. I have no idea where I bought most of the stuff in my home after a few weeks if I didn't buy it directly from the producer.

People LOVED Sears for a century and then when someone offered the same products some where else for cheaper in a snazzier space, Sears went down the tubes.

People thought Target was a great experience, but then free 2-day shipping and a lower price from the comfort of your home for the same products came along and now Target is struggling.

Nobody pays a more for a ticket on Priceline.com if they know they can get it cheaper on Expedia.com.

If Airbnb, owned the homes and thereby owned the experience, they'd be able to build brand loyalty. But they don't own any of those things.
... thus proving the point.

This doesn't really address the core issue, though. The anthropic principle may tell us why we're capable of observing the universe, but it doesn't tell us why there is something to observe (instead of nothing), and why the laws and fundamental constants are the way they are.
Exactly. It should be this way in USA as well. It sickens me how people shrug off any problems at correctional facilities as "it's punishment". We're only creating more problems for society with that thought process.
It isn't really clickbait, though it sure feels like one. There's a clear definition of LHC "nightmare scenario" in the article, and it apparently wasn't made up for the article itself.

I wouldn't mind if the state was collecting the money.

They basically are. See "commissions": http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/10/prison-phone-comp...
You do know the point of a prison is in fact not to punish. It is to rehabilitate and a sentence is supposed to be a reflection on how much rehabilitation is necessary. It's sad, prisons should have the same rights as eeryone else lest we create a caste of population unable to reintegrate and move beyond what is often a single poor decision.
It took me about 2 weeks until I was up to normal speed. It was probably a month before I could use it with zero difficulty. I used ktouchtype to train on it.

The thing is if you have any idiosyncrasies in your touch typing, the Kinesis will not forgive them. The way that the keys are stepped down into different levels makes it difficult to use the "wrong" finger to reach the desired key. Of course, ultimately, that's for the better. It will just take you a little bit of time to unlearn some of the not-quite-official typing habits you may've developed over the years.

I absolutely believe it's worth the effort. Wrist pain is almost never an issue for me anymore. The Kinesis is highly durable and cleans up very well.

I used the "Natural" keyboard for years before I switched to the Kinesis. There's no comparison. I had to replace the MS keyboard twice a year or more. Been on the same Kinesis for about 4 years and there are no signs of it wearing out.

The only downside is that sometimes there are weird firmware issues that sit unreconciled. For example, there is some incompatibility with the Intel USB 3.0 bus, Windows 7 (at the time, Win8 was the latest OS, and it didn't affect Win8; don't know if it affects Win10 or not), and the Kinesis. It simply isn't detected under that OS. No problems on other versions of Windows, other OSes, or other USB busses. This meant I couldn't use it on a Bootcamp'd MacBook Pro. Kinesis was apparently unable to get Intel to cooperate in debugging the issue with their chipset drivers.

That said, it's an investment that I enthusiastically endorse if you're willing to commit to a couple weeks of learning curve (and since we're talking about the health of the hands needed to continue our careers here, you definitely should be).

Some commenters on the article discussed condensed matter physics as a potentially more viable path of inquiry for understanding underlying physics theory than high energy particle collision experiments.

I'm no expert here and don't understand the dichotomy, such as it were, here. Also, how are condensed matter physics contributing to fundamental theories of the universe today? I've heard a lot more of condensed matter physics in specific areas (eg superconductivity), but not often heard it discussed in relation to fundamental physics. But I'm pretty uninformed here, overall.

Does anyone with more expertise here have a quick breakdown of what these commenters mean?
The 1 percent claim is probably ceteris peribus: 1 percent greater than it would otherwise be. Not very well written though.
Fair point. I still feel the same way, but I understand about FB is that friends and family are hard to leave behind and its hard to corral people into a new platform, when most people don't see social media as that important to begin with. It's like people are stuck in this hole of apathy. It's also a free service, so most people don't give shit. So they don't leave then the person who does care doesn't leave because all their apathetic friends haven't left and so on...

As for Airbnb, because money is involved and its a retail transaction the game changes. It's like in Freakonomics how once you introduce money into a relationship, a whole new set of dynamics emerge.

Think about your affinity for retailers. Do you really care if your Moleskin notebook was bought from Amazon, Target, or B&N? You probably just went with the cheapest.
Allow me to wax philosophical for a moment.

My wife is very emotion driven. She legitimately cried about the philae shutdown, and had to rectify how she "looked at" the shutdown to not feel sad about it, but I feel like my sysadmin background helps in this.

These tools, as much as we attach emotion to them, are tools, extensions of the will of those who made them. A sysadmin will NEVER win in the long run. Our best success is averting failure yet another day; yet another day. Similarly an engineer will never build a tool that lasts forever. But each year is another accomplishment, another triumph of their competence against the increasingly likely probability that "everything is on fire."

So less than poignancy, I see it as a trumpet call, a triumph procession. Each year is another year of spitting in the face of every absurd hardware bug, quantum event, cosmic ray, and meteor that'd love nothing more than to ruin some scientist's day. These missions to which we assign so much personality do not "die", so much as "manage to persist against all odds", and it keeps me in constant awe of the people who set out and succeed, even a little, at these endevours.

Different abstraction level. Evolution provides a framework for biology which works at every level. EX: Why does the human optic nerve cause a blind spot? At the detail level biology is filled with a huge range of less than optimal solutions, but when 'it worked' is the only limitation things click.

Physics has a lot of data and several models that work really well, but they don't really fit into a single coherent system. QM vs Relativity etc. The density needed to form a black hole decreases linearly with radius, sho why is the universe not one?
The FCC did cap rates. They revised the caps upward after being sued by the two main prison phone service (such as it is) providers. The caps look pretty high but I guess that means rates were really high before they were capped.

I have nothing but bad things to say about bash on Windows. The windows insider program forces what seems like complete reinstalls on a regular basis, causing serious interruptions and long wait times to get back to ground zero.

I found opting into this program to be confusing, turning on the subsystem is classic windows obscurity, traversing multiple nested uis to check one single box. When you turn on the insider program it literally does nothing until you reboot it a couple of times. It gave zero indication that it was actually going to update my system and then bam, it starts reinstalling your os.

The subsystem itself has serious problems like being able to get a list of network interfaces which makes running a node server impossible.
