TL;DR: The organization found that, by the end of 2016, the Oculus Rift is projected to sell 355,088 units; the HTC Vive will sell 420,108 units; Google Daydream will sell 450,083 units; and the PS VR will sell 2,602,307 units. In addition, the analysis also purports that the Samsung Gear VR — built in collaboration with Oculus — will sell 2,316,632 units.
So I would draw a line between those. Most of them are treatments for exposure to radioactive materials and not for radiation damage (which I think was more the question being asked).

The bone marrow transplant and supportive care are treating the damage.
Might be better to go in the reverse direction - get them to store their DNS records under revision control and then when changes are committed/pushed they are deployed.

I wrote something like that for Amazon's rout53, https://dns-api.com/ but it wouldn't be hard to wire up a git hook with APIs from DNSMadeSimple, Dyne, or similar I'm sure.

(Of course if you don't host your clients DNS then it might be a fight to get them to change. But if you do it might be worth a think..)

Seems that it ships with a 'choice of Windows 10 Pro or Linux operating systems', but I don't see which distro.
Dosimeters worn prior to an expected period of exposure, for diagnosis and triage.

Drugs to reduce cellular and DNA damage from active radiation exposure. Drugs to prevent uptake of radioactive materials into the tissues of the body.

Chelation therapy to remove potentially radioactive elements from the body. This prevents further, continuing damage from the same exposure.

Drugs to stimulate the body's natural DNA repair functions.

Transplant of undamaged (or less-damaged) hematopoietic stem cells or peripheral blood stem cells.

More frequent screenings for cancers and other health maladies known to be associated with radiation exposure.
It's still valuable unless your time is worthless.

The answer should be pursued through Android. Apps for ChromeOS are officially second class. Chrome the browser, a window manager and a basic file manager seems to be all ChromeOS is ever going to get. The rest should be done through Android to make your efforts future-proof
How are people using Backblaze's excellent hard drive reliability reports in making purchasing decisions?

For example when I search for HGST HMS5C4040ALE640 on Amazon I get a dealer selling old out of warrantee drives as new.

https://www.amazon.com/HGST-MegaScale-HMS5C4040ALE640-Coolsp...

I get similar results with many of the other drives listed and with other websites such as NewEgg.
So, I have complicated feelings about this.

I'm only a few years older than David Hahn. In the early mid nineties, I was also building a nuclear reactor on the down-low. I got my first neutrons a few days before I turned 21. My name is even David as well. So, my friends would always compare me with him as soon as they heard his story.

I've always felt a bit of kinship with him, particularly his desire to learn-by-doing about nuclear physics. I've also felt a bit of jealousy at the press he got, pity for the mess he got himself into, and I'm not sure what to name the feeling (sadness? derision?) for some of the mistakes that he made. I'm not sure that I would have done better at his age, trying to do what he was doing.

There were things I did that were different from him, that I guess led me to a different fate. I made sure not to break any laws (deuteron colliders are under a different set of rules than radioisotopes). I went to college, which was probably easier for me than for him. I involved other people in my project, including getting VC funding. I sure never made a mess like he did.

I also made some similar mistakes. I wasn't even aware that high voltage power supplies would make x-rays. I was shocked and scared when Spence, our 'adult supervision' engineer, brought in a Geiger counter and showed us that we were making a fair amount of x-rays. I learned a lot of radiation safety on-the-job, quickly. Without Spence, who knows how badly I would have irradiated myself before learning on my own?

We always avoided publicity. Part of that was because we didn't want people freaking out that we were doing "nuclear stuff" in a rented office by the railroad tracks in Tallahassee. Our landlord knew, and was cool with it, but we were nervous about how the general public would react. So we kept things private.

I used to feel that maybe it was a mistake to keep my fusion project so secret. It certainly didn't help my career to be a failed founder with no published papers, without even a press release to point to for my years of work. But when I look at how the mistakes that David Hahn made followed him his whole life, and which weren't all that different from mistakes I made in my youth, I think maybe my decision wasn't so bad. "Radiation Safety Officer" happens to be one of my job titles these days.

Rest in Peace, David.

- Most of the time, I can actually get work done. I'm not in meetings all week.

- My coworkers' personalities do not need too much debugging. The work culture is not highly dysfunctional.
> So lets assume we are going nuc crazy and are ordering a 10 GW of plants. Can any nuclear power plant builder actually build this within 5 years? 10 years?

China can. As a matter of fact, China connected 20 GW (20863 MW to be exact) capacity to grid within 5 years, from 2012 to 2016.

Sorry to say I'm not surprised. Having multiple companies that suppply hardware, os versions and applications doesn't help.
The only fact that matters is that you have no clue what you're talking about. I hear about teaching as a profession daily from my wife, and as if it matters- I have more teachers and professors in my family than you do. My dad can also beat up your dad.

You also make stats out of thin air. Nice control in your scientific comparison Einstein. Finns start at 7, but as a nation test better than Americans. That is what I said was a useless conjecture.

Learn about cause and effect, how studies are done with controls, and how correlation does not equal causation. You're the worst Monday morning quarterback I've ever seen. Like I said, you really got it figured out.

I'd love to know how many other fields and topics you're an expert in to offer such poor analysis on this one. Dimly informed and zero critical thinking skills to say the least.

If that happened to me I would probably have Apple either fix it or give me a new one, but you could throw it away if you wanted.
I dont think the public are particularly against nuclear. Most major developments have opposition. And any project as costly will have concerns simply from a project managment perspective. I don't think you can blame protestors for massive financial risk that investors are scared of. Lucrative projects that are much more environmentally damaging go ahead all the time afterall.

Certainly in my experience of working with vendors, that deal would not only be sweetened, but we wouldn't even consider entertaining the idea of paying anything for such a trial. It would be considered a proof of concept and we'd want to be able to play with it until we were happy.

Of course, if we got as far as asking you to remove copy protection, then we're probably way past PoC stage and into serious contract negotiations.

I can't help feeling like both parties probably allowed this to happen because they felt it would improve their bargaining position. The Navy possibly felt that by dragging out the negotiation until way after the live deployment is complete, they can keep BS waiting until they go bust or accept a lower price. BS know that once the software is out there with no further negotiations about price, they're in a solid position to charge the full amount, which they can legally enforce if necessary.

Then invoice time comes around, the two parties are at completely opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of pricing, and here we are.

Probably because the market is too small to justify the developer time when other developers are willing to spend the time integrating their B2 cloud offering as a driver.
Just as a general thought, not specific to this product:

This is decrypted and eval'd at runtime

Most(all?) string-based obfuscators can be bypassed by simply replacing eval with a logging eval implementation.

var oldEval = eval; eval = function(str){console.log(str);oldEval(str)};

A similar patch to the Function constructor can bypass the other easy dynamic code generation code path.

If at some point, a string needs to be evaluated as code, then it's possible to intercept that code and output it.
The interviewer here rubbed me the wrong way. I felt like he had his own ideas about the things Chiang explores, and used much of the interview as a way to try to get Chiang to talk about those ideas, rather than talking about Chiang's own exploration of them.

Did anyone else get this sense?
I ask a lot of question, and thus get banned from asking more...

I wish they would have a "luxury" option for like 49.99 a year where students could ask like unlimited questions.

Brain-Filling Curves – A Fractal Bestiary
It doesn't track plays at all, it takes songs in your playlists and calculates close matches based on songs in other users playlists.

It's a relatively simple graph-transform that is just using occurence in playlists tor generation. Which makes adding the playlists self-reinforcing, which could have negative situations.

I have a wide range of musical taste, but a low number of playlists and can drastically change from metal to dance to hip-hop by adding a prebuilt playlist week to week.

Spam has a lot of problem potential. Dodging spam when you're looking for answers is like jumping in a swimming hole where someone dumped a garbage bag of empty milk containers, lettuce leaves, coffee grounds, plastic wrap... Frankly, it's just another kind of advertisement, and I think it's much worse than the official kind, whose site-killing power you mention.

>Spam is a non-issue here unless spammers model answers like good answers

Many people give answers broad latitude as far as "goodness". Users can also be easily confused: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/337843/review-audit-..., and even moderators are sometimes inclined towards leniency: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/333722/how-is-this-q...

A multi-layered system, starting with some filtering right at the beginning, is, I think, the best way to keep illicit ads under control. Stack Overflow has very high value as a target for spammers and very low amounts of spam compared to that value; I'd really like it to stay that way.

I hate having to register at every new site, too, but I don't think it's entirely unreasonable if you're actually trying to post.

Their MacOS client is amazing, so I doubt it's a technical constraint. My guess is that because they don't have size limits on their backups, if all of their customers are backing up terabytes, Backblaze bleeds money, so they depend on most people only backing up a couple hundred gigabytes. Linux users may have a wildly higher amount of stuff to back up such that it's not profitable. And changing their branding to have mostly unlimited except for some people is probably not too appealing either.

Containers almost always for local dev environments. I don't recommend containers in production unless you're going all in on a container scheduler (like Kubernetes). Without running multiple containers on the same virtual machine (and and orchestrator performing the work for you), you're adding an additional layer of abstraction with no benefit.

I don't remember how those worked. I think it automatically kept a hierarchy of what tab parented other tabs and colored them that way. That gets kinda strange because it's trying to represent a tree in a flat space, and I don't think the colors reflected their heritage. Since a tab could technically be a parent and a child, you lost tabs to one group or another.

Thankfully synesthesia is really simple - match the string, take the md5 of it, lop off some bits and interpret that as a color. There's no additional structure to superimpose on color selection.
Large areas of the world cannot be powered with wind or solar. To use a Canadian example, the west coast of British Columbia is not a sunny place, to put it mildly, and not particularly windy. In other places, the solar energy is simply too weak, which is why Edmonton is often sunny and -30 degrees C.

I find the whole "just use solar and wind!" argument is often made by people who live in warm, flat places.
Americium is an alpha emitter (like plutonium, and with a shorter half life). Inhaling it is going to be much more dangerous than one or even many unmolested asking detectors.

> The reason why people will continue using a OS that they dislike and distrust...Too much software is exclusively on windows...

Is there any room in your opinion for people who love Windows and think it's better than any other OS that is currently available? Because that's why I stick with it, despite having some very minor issues...

Also, the reason that I don't switch to a Free and open source OS for my desktop is because they all suck. They're slower and clunkier than Windows and they don't have the features that I want.

All of my Windows issues were solved by simply toggling features via Settings and Group Policy though. I think there is one setting that you need the Enterprise version to toggle and that is Telemetry. However, you can disable that service manually too - http://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-10-telemetry/ Of course disabling Telemetry causes you to lose Cortana, the Windows Store and any use of your Microsoft Account - but I don't use any of that crap anyway and anyone who does want to use that stuff wouldn't care about the basic Telemetry data that gets collected, which is detailed here - https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-10-feedback-diag...

Don't stay for guilt. Don't feel that you're their last hope of making it, and therefore it you quit, it's your fault that they didn't make it. No, it's the fault of the two founders, who can't grow up enough to run a company.

Now, to your question: If you get to the series A, how much do you benefit? Is it enough to be worth the headaches?

CrashPlan made a different decision. If I was to offer an unlimited backup service, I would offer it to novice users, not a small minority of power users and professionals who were going to break the business model with TBs of data.

Let's be honest: when people see unlimited, most think "I don't have to worry about how much I'm storing" but a small group thinks "How can I take advantage of this?"

Not supporting a Linux client fixes that quickly.

For detail and realism I recommend the Uncharted series. The things they did with character animation are NUTS. Get Drake moving in one direction and then make him turn or reverse sharply in another direction and you will see his momentum and observe him shifting his weight from his former lead foot to his new lead foot. It's like watching a Pixar film: the flashy bits aren't what impress you, it's the subtle, little things.

They pre-baked all these animation states based on the angle Drake was moving to (or the difference in angles between his former and current trajectories; I;m not sure) and used the game engine to look them up and interpolate between them. In Uncharted 4 things get even more nuts: move to the edge of a ledge or crevice and you can use the left analog stick to make Drake's hand reach at any angle; if he finds a handhold there will be a smooth realistic transition as he climbs to the new handhold -- no jump button necessary.

I would say that the series is getting tired but they keep doing new and better things with each game. And they even gave Drake a satisfying ending without killing him off. Quite unlike the rerun city that Eidos made those poor Tomb Raider devs crank out.
I tend to agree with you, but in the days after the election several of my acquaintances witnessed hate crimes accompanied by Trump slogans. This, along with the surge in reports of hate crimes in the media, tells me that this isn't just a repeat of 2000.

Indeed. I visited Persepolis a few years back during the summer. Mind you, that's a place with 2500 years of history, and there were maybe 4-5 other people there in that giant historic place, visiting?

There were only 2 guards covering the whole place, and anyone could just come, break and take a piece and leave (and many do sadly).

It's just a sad state of affairs. The Louvre has a few pieces [0] and you can see how much better they are kept than the real place in Iran [1]

And that's just one example. Iran is full of history and beautiful places, but we sadly get so little touristic revenue do to how badly kept it all is and our government...
