Two ambulances where sent to a different, but very close location. Only one of those where needed. If that other ambulance was sent somewhere else or stayed at base he would probably have died.

At best his location, health, and timing may have raised his survival from the default rate of around 2% to around 10-50%, but that's still not great odds.
Yes, that is what I really meant. My experience is from watching my significant other's kids and their friends (all in their early twenties by now, but were teens when they started). So the age could have something to do with it too. And every once in awhile I run across someone who does mention occasional pot usage, but they seem normal. In those cases their use is infrequent. In the case of the teenagers / early 20's mentioned above, I think a big part of it is heavy usage while their brains were still developing. It seems that usage during those critical years can put a "pause" button on development, so once they got off pot they were 25-year-olds that behaved in many ways like a 15-year-old.

A good counter example is someone I know who didn't start until around age 25, only indulges occasionally (so it isn't an addiction), and has very high cognitive ability (currently making 6 figures in the financial industry).

When one man ships an incomplete game foir $60, he gets crucified by the public.

When EA or Ubisoft ships an incomplete game for $60+, people complain, and buy anyway, waiting for the patch.

Do you see what I'm getting at here?
What makes you think this couldn't be a software bug? Studying about bugs like Therac-25 [1] were standard practice at my school to show what it takes to make software an engineering discipline.

The takeaway I get is that Uber has an edge on Google in the race for a fully automated taxi service, because the have had more time to work on a more sophisticated routing algorithm.

I am skeptical. As the article points out, it will take a considerable amount of time to deploy any service, once the automated driving is good enough. If Google gets to commercially viable automated driving sooner, it will have plenty of time to refine their own routing algorithms during the rollout.
I suspect it coasted purely on momentum -- hosting fees or such.

The parser/converter has actually stood up amazingly well considering it's seen little or no updating.
I like having separate partitions (or slices) for everything. The guy who introduced me to UNIX did it so he could mount certain filesystems "ro" or "noexec". He also told me that partitioning can help avoid inode exhaustion but I really doubt that is an issue with modern filesystems.

I still partition with NetBSD. It just feels right; even if not necessary.

The upthread question about why inhaling smoke would be harmful if "ordinary air" was not pretty clearly used "ordinary air" to mean at least "air without smoke", since inhaling "smoke" is always inhaling "air with smoke", and it would be silly to ask the question if both alternatives meant "air with smoke".

Electric cars represent a substantial demand for electricity. Solar represents a cost-effective renewable supply of electricity. The two do go hand-in-hand.

"Vertical integration can make a lot of sense in weird markets where goods aren't fungible or there isn't a high quality market for trading. Electrical power is basically the opposite of this though. There is a very very large and very liquid market for pricing electrical power. I see no reason that SolarCity can't just be a supplier to this market while Tesla Owners would be consumers." Yes, but the point is that there is a reason to combine those two, if the long-term agenda is to create a next-generation energy company, as opposed to simply competing in their respective markets, which was a response to pfarnsworth's comments.

I do agree with the likelihood of certain shareholders being negatively affected. You are also probably right about the motivation being cashflow, but that is due to circumstances/timing rather than a lack of synergy.

If you're interested in this, you would enjoy reading the analysis of the breakup of the shuttle Columbia (not the earlier Challenger analysis, which is in itself interesting). Give yourself an hour.

The basic link is: http://www.nasa.gov/columbia/home/CAIB_Vol1.html

Start at chapter 2, on page 27. Highlights: "lock the doors" (page 44), the hunt for debris (page 45), reconstruction (page 47, 72, 74ff). It's really an amazing engineering detective story.

The fault tree analysis methodology is on page 85ff.

It's the life that they've chosen. It comes with ups and downs.
The vendor isn't obliged to make their device hackable even if they do publish the source. Some do, and that's neat, but in most cases, access to the source might, at best, only result in the next iteration of device having some change in a year's time. Your little box will continue to make you unhappy. You should just get a refund.

The kernel developers aren't on the hook at all here. No one told you to buy a specific device.
We placed a bet on chrome apps because of the USB HID API - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/onlykey-configurat...

>As I commented, it's not that there aren't cryogenic temperature pressure relief valves, just that they may not be what you want!

Yeah for sure, if you think about it even if the rocket was filled with inert gas venting it might be very tricky.
You have an erect rocket on a launch pad, you have to vent evenly as a pressure relief valve is effectively a "rocket engine" at high enough pressures.
If one of them freezes and you don't have even distribution it can topple over.

You also have to vent the tanks in order and at a certain rate I would assume for example you want to vent to top tanks first to prevent the rocket from becoming too top heavy, and you also want to vent it at a certain rate to prevent quick shifts in the balance and weight distribution of the rocket.

I tried (and failed after a month of work) earlier this year trying to do ~20TB shuffles with Spark. I felt both relief and frustration reading this post.

Relief: I'm not an idiot, and the problems in the shuffle were likely in Spark and not just me being a beginner user.

Frustration: I wanted to group about 100 billion x 200 byte records into 5 billion groups. This seems like exactly the problem Spark is designed for and is advertised for. I had great difficulty even getting example Spark SQL code (or my own RDD based code) working. I hear so many great things about Spark as a tool for big data, and also "your data isn't big". I considered 20TB on the "low end" of big data, but a seemingly popular and widely used big data tool can't shuffle it without numerous bug fixes and pain on the part of the user. Shuffling 90TB was worth a Facebook blog post! This makes me ask: To all the people using Spark for "big data", how painful is it and how much data are you handling? It appears the answer for >=20TB is "very painful", and for <=5TB I think you're generally in "handle on single node" territory.
This disaster may have bigger implications for Spacecom. They were in the middle of being acquired by Beijing Xinwei and the successful launch of Amos 6 was supposed to be a factor in closing the deal[1]. I have no idea what blowing up on the pad means for the merger.

Location: Austin, TX

Remote: No. I've tried remote and didn't like it at all.

Willing to Relocate: I've been actively looking for work in San Franciso.

Technologies: I'm most likely to pass a test using Python, Clojure, PostgreSQL, but I'm interested in learning other technologies, such as Ruby, Haskell, etc. I'm all Linux, comfortable in the command line and capable of basic server deployments.

Albert Einstein was a smoker, as were a lot of other scientists.

NASA mission control celebrated with cigars when the mission was successful...

From my own experience, smoking sometimes helped me improve concentration and it gave me a 10 minute cigarette break every hour or so, during which I could do some out of the box thinking on the problem.

Tobacco is like a close friend/advisor which is always with you.

Had it not been for the health issues it provoked in me (circulatory/heart), I would still be smoking today.

Even as a non-smoker now, I still respect the plant and I'm grateful for our relationship which lasted for 20 years.

I think it has greatly influenced our (human) development. This is very hard to measure or prove, of course, but given the mystical status that shamans attribute to it ("most powerful plant in the jungle"), I would suspect that it had something to do with the giant expansion of human consciousness that we've experienced since it was introduced into "our" culture.

Good or bad, we don't know, it just did, since so many people use(d) it.

Here's an interesting take on the subject:

We're one of the very few unicorn companies HQ'd in Europe who are profitable, and have been so for the past 7 years. Our CTO Bryan Dove joined us from Amazon S3 - in London you would be working closely with him alongside some very experienced industry figures in a cool and central location.

You can apply at http://www.skyscanner.net/jobs/ - or ping me an email at alex (.) treppass [at] skyscanner.net for a referral. Happy to answer questions or pass you to someone who can. CV in Word / .doc format would be ideal, pdf is fine.

On a personal note, I see a lot of freedom, responsibility, accountability. Engineers have a lot of room to make decisions and move fast, and the encouragement to make things better and make us faster as a tech company. It's exciting.
