According to the landing sequence...

http://www.popularmechanics.com/space/a23475/beagle-2-schiap...

...the lander was supposed to detach from the aeroshell at about 1km up. So if it fell from 2 to 4km up, that implies that it detached too early.

This article:

https://spaceflightnow.com/2016/10/20/last-data-from-schiapa...

...says that the telemetry shows that the engines did fire, for at least a few seconds.

My uninformed hypothesis: the lander detached early for some reason, and started falling. As it approached the ground, the radar saw the ground coming, and it fired the engines for the final braking. But because it had been falling so far, it was now going too fast for the engines to stop it in time, and it hit the ground hard. (Mars doesn't really do terminal velocities.)

It says they have 600MB of telemetry. That's quite impressive.
About the last question, all of the reasons you mention are valid (also management compensation is sometimes linked to share price).

Dividends and buybacks are essentially interchangeable as far as the shareholders are concerned. Simplifying a bit (ignoring taxes, transaction costs, discount on cash on the balance sheet, etc.), if you own 10% of a company valued at $100mn (i.e. you have $10mn in shares) and the company has $10mn in cash that it wants to return to shareholders it can either distribute dividends (so you get $1mn in cash and your shares are now worth 10% of $90mn) or it can buy back 10% of the outstanding shares. You could sell all your shares (you get $10mn in cash), keep all your shares (now they are worth 11.11% of $90mn, i.e. $10mn) or sell part of your holdings (and hopefully you'll believe me if I tell you that the stocks you keep plus the cash you get will make $10mn in total).

The OS, lockdown, user-hostility, surveillence, intentionally broken crap, and App store ecosystem dyfunction are irredeemable.

Please. Dyn has performed pretty well in the past, and any other provider (be it UltraDNS, CloudFlare or anybody else) would be a single point of failure as well.

I'd be curious to know how you found Stranger Things, if you've seen it. As a rule I don't binge-watch either, but after watching the first episode of that show, I found myself quite strongly compelled to keep watching until it was done.

2016 MacBook Pro Preview

Okay. The year is 2005. PHP5 was fresh out of the oven and most people were still on PHP4. From PHP's point of view, there's rumors of something happening in the Ruby community that will be big, and should be talked about [1].

Then Rails 1.0 drops at the end of the year. From this Slashdot thread [2] on the announcement you can gauge the contemporary reaction; comments detail the fact that Rails was breath of fresh air from the configuration-heavy Java frameworks of the day -- represented by Struts [3], but others weren't much different in this regard, as these books from 2002 and 2004 about alternatives to Struts show [4][5]. Several ASP developers, detail their positive experiences in switching their web development to Rails [6][7][8]. The PHP world is forever changed -- by 2006, frameworks inspired by Rails abound [9]. "Ruby on Rails" becomes a popular phrase, some frameworks borrow the naming scheme along with the ideas: "Groovy on Grails" [10] tries to bring Rails' ideas to the Java world, "PHP on Trax" (formerly "PHP on Rails" [9]), "ColdFusion on Wheels" [11].

I'd say Rails made quite the splash.

This is accepted principle in liberal democracies. Public Officials and figures get less protection than common man.
Facebook has offices in Dubai, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Singapore. These restrict internet pornography by law; even though much of actual Internet traffic may still be porn, businesses do not wish to associate with it because porn could provide a too convenient legal handle to prosecute representatives or shut down services as a retaliation for publishing things that are e.g. critical of the local government.

Of course we are not talking about porn, but drawing lines in the sand is a murky business.

Anything pushed hard enough can be destroyed. I find the newer Macs to be pretty good partially from their light weight. I literally throw my 13" MBP around the apartment (toss it onto the couch, bed, etc) which I'd never have imagined doing with 10 pound laptops of yesteryear.

I've taken my Macbook Pros to Burning Man (and used them while sitting having a drink on Esplanade reprogramming an LED display), and other camping events and have yet to kill one there. Surely at some point I will, but so far so good. But this is just my set of datapoints. My partner's older Macbook Pro just died for apparently no reason at all while using it at home last week, and she treats her much better than I treat mine. No manner of boot key pressing could get it to even bring up anything past the Apple logo.

> Dividend and buybacks are essentially interchangeable as far as the shareholders are concerned.

But they are taxed differently, which is a huge deal for long term investors. Long term gains are taxed at lower rates and compound pre-tax, while dividends incur annual taxes at ordinary income tax rates.

My own little anecdotal experience... I'm a producer at a small agency of ~30 employees. In addition to my more than busy schedule producing interactive content I also manage the Mac hardware/software for our team. I wouldn't consider myself much more than a Mac hobbiest at best, but I rarely have an issue I can't figure out. I was a PC/Windows guy that switched to Mac in college when I was doing a multimedia degree. So by no means a Mac expert and probably about as much experience with Windows at this point. That said, one thing I'm certain about is that there is no way I would take on managing a Windows network for ~30 people in addition to my fairly non-related position at the company. It's honestly very rare that I have to mess with anything with our network, computers, server etc. after having set everything up initially. This has been over the past 6-8 years.

AT&T Discussed Idea of Takeover in Time Warner Meetings
Registrar doesn't host your NS records, they are hosted on name servers for a particular TLD your domain belongs to. So, if registrar goes down - absolutely nothing will happen. The only way registrar could mess things up is by updating your records incorrectly. And these things do happen from time to time, but are very uncommon. For example, I use domains for decades and was never affected by it.

To me, the air bags[1] used to land the Spirit and Opportunity rovers seemed like a saner way to go than trying to deposit them gently directly on to the surface using a sky crane. The reported reason the sky crane was used for Curiosity is that it was too heavy for the air bag approach.

It isn't their home value they are protecting though. Increasing the zoning limit on a plot only causes its value to increase. It's the "character" of their neighborhood.

Somehow we've gotten into a cultural state where everyone expects the place they live to stay exactly as it is for their lifetime. It's totally implausible and destructive, but people fight for it anyways, even when it isn't in their financial interest.

> that reassessment is capped so when the market goes crazy people aren't driven out of their homes

By definition, the people who would be "driven out" have seen their home values wildly appreciate and they have by that token become substantially wealthy. This is like saying that if someone is on food stamps but then becomes a millionaire, it's unfair to take away their foodstamps or raise their tax rate.
Did Comodo admit to using OCR for this, and that it wasn't a human transcription mistake (humans mistake 1's and l's too)

It just seems odd for them to use an image of a web page to transcribe information from a web lookup when they could just scrape the text off the web page directly without using the intermediate image and OCR.

However, I could see them using a human in the chain to look up the whois information, it just seems strange to come up with a complicated OCR solution (and if they did, that they couldn't find a font that makes 1's and l's look more distinct, like http://forum.high-logic.com/viewtopic.php?t=4004)
Junk IoT manufacturers need to feel fear.

We've reached the point where any clueless business type who pooh-poohs and wishes away security concerns needs to get the idiot bit flipped on them. Today's networked computing environment has reached the point, where this stuff is toxic. It might have been okay for a few isolated frontier weirdos to play with mercury to extract gold, but then when that became a full blown industry, it resulted in toxic consequences we are still dealing with over 150 years later. Maker hipsters playing with a few hardware hacks did little harm. Now that IoT is becoming household, the situation has changed in an analogous way.
Yup, and they tend to have the politics whose practical effects ended up driving them from California in the first place. I'd like to see an amendment to the Constitution which provided for internal immigration, such that there's a multi-year waiting period to become a state citizen after moving to a new state. The idea would be to give folks a period of time to acclimate & acculturate to their new state's politics. They would, of course, still be able to vote in their old states during that time period.

This might even be good for states that people move from: as their former residents retain voting rights for a period of time while acclimating to better states, they are likely to vote for better policies, to the betterment of those net-emmigrant states.
