If you update the firmware you're at a different level altogether (above it said 'device drivers', not 'firmware', they're definitely not the same), but still, the hardware hopefully has a failsafe that will shut down the motherboard as soon as you reach a critical temperature over the one where the fans would have normally come on, and past the highest setting for the automated shut-down in software in case of overheating (that's a 'nice' shutdown), presumably that one is one that you can still recover from without any damage.

Designing good hardware is hard, but it definitely can be done and a few ntcs and a crowbar are not going to break the bank.

You make a great point about why passively cooled systems are better though :)
Now, change your destination to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (Canada). Or even Toronto or Vancouver. The price goes up very quickly, for a trip no longer than any many domestic flights.

(My apologies, I should have specified continental "international" flights, as that's typically all I've ended up flying in the past, with the occasional exceptions for vacations.)
"I weep for my gender." - yeah me to.
With my limited cosmological understanding, it seems like much of what you're saying is also key to, in part, understanding that the expansion or shift isn't a movement THROUGH spacetime, but the expansion OF spacetime.

I have a question. Our current cosmological understanding indicates that no matter where you are in the universe, you'd see this recession, correct? If so, bizarre thought experiment: If I could somehow magically teleport from here to the very edge of observable spacetime, wouldn't I see, broadly, the same stuff as I see from earth? A whole bunch of receding galaxies?
New reset cookie functionality on Google Apps
Have you ever spent half an hour searching for something, not really found what you were looking for, and then a few days later realized that one of the pages you saw when you were searching was really exactly what you were looking for? But now you are not entirely sure how to get back to it?

In our experience, the joy of the realization is shrouded in the dread of having to spend another half hour trying to find the right page again.

So to solve that problem, we built this app.
Not at all. The last few times I've flown (US to Canada and back again), I walked away from the experience feeling abused by the U.S. side of the transaction. You can choose to accept that or not, and can certainly write off my opinion as hyperbole if you'd like; that's your prerogative. But I don't believe I'm the only one who feels that way.

(If the "exorbitant rate" portion is what you object to, see my reply elsewhere in the thread.)
Age of Empires?
That's cool. Sounds insane, but I actually thing pet services and businesses are totally under appreciated. People are crazy about and spend shitloads of money on their pets, even in hard financial times, and there are very few real entrepreneurs taking advantage of it.
People play games as an escape, to clear the mind, to let off steam, or for the adrenalin rush. People do not play games to immerse themselves in the angst-inducing problems of the day. A "serious" game with real-life scenarios and solutions is not a game at all. It is a simulation, or computer based education.
My first question is... did the company predict this investment?
If it takes less than say 3 minutes to find a match, and I can win at least say 25% of the matches, I'll be happy.
Dump the IPv6 standard and release a new standard which is actually backwards-compatible with IPv4, and perhaps we have a chance to avert this.

IPv6 has been failing to gain adoption for over 10 years now. I recall there was a detailed article on HN a while ago explaining why IPv6 is never gonna work, because it's not backwards-compatible with IPv4 (i.e. IPv6 devices can't access IPv4 devices, and vice versa).
Your question reads like you think there's an expansion from something to somewhere else. Like, as though people were periodically allowed to run in opposite directions from a 50 yard line, and we're observing them from the 35 yard line as we slowly run in one direction or the other. But that's not what's going on, given the near-uniformity of cosmic microwave background radiation.

Cool, but I wish the author didn't put emphasis comparing the CSS3 animation with Flash.

I don't think I've ever seen anything so bad in Flash. I know it's possible to do worse, but it's also so easy to do better.

Now we'll get people saying "Flash is still king" while the focus could be shifted to "Oh man CSS3 looks nice". The author is taunting but its attack could not be weaker.

Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 has broken Active Directory support
I guess I was making an unintentional point, but mainly I was trying to ask others their opinions. I don't play alot of online games or use facebook but my wife and others around me are always online and they are taking up alot of the time that they could be actually socializing by looking at pictures on facebook of someone who they went to high school with that they haven't talked to in 10 years, and even then they weren't friends.
This is kind of a hot niche with website flippers at the moment. With the domains age you might be able to sell it pretty quickly on a place like Flippa.

Otherwise, if you aren't looking for quick cash, I'd sit on it and see how the AdSense performs while trying out some affiliate offers. Standard practices for content sites like this. You'll have a better idea of its worth after a few months.
I don't know why anyone would game for a preloader, especially one that doesn't work all that well.
This is a lot like how I became a vegetarian. One day I just stopped eating land-dwelling creatures. A couple weeks later I gave up seafood for Lent.

Though I don't think I'll be going back. Unlike the shower experiment, what I discovered was that not only did I not feel any different, nothing had really changed. I still enjoy my food more and more every day, learning new recipes and finding new restaurants. Main difference is I don't have to worry as much about sterilizing my kitchen.
Are there any web developers here who didn't know these things? Are there any developers of any type who didn't? I'm not sure who the audience for this article is meant to be but I'm guessing you won't find too many of them here.
Amazing they didn't mention religion as off-topic.

I don't see how this is interesting to a hacker. It's interesting to a redditor, but that's why I don't go there.
css3 animation were never designed to replace flash for playing non interactive cartoon animations, the fact they can possibly be abused to do that is pretty astounding, good show.

(in case you were wondering what would be used for animations, this should really be a video, if it was interactive / dynamic then you would look at svg animation / canvas)
If you try to checkout, it will only display shipping options if they ship to the country in your address (I tested it, with Ireland it disn't display options, but had a link to the page; with the US it let you choose from two fedex options and gave price of shipping).

If you go to the distributer page, it links three distributers: EU, china and asia.

On a side note, I emailed the EU distributer and the guy was pretty helpful and friendly and said he'll consider removing gender and date of birth as compulsaroy options. If he does, I'll probably buy one.
Great article.

Pretty incredible to think about how almost everything consumed in the developed world is a luxury...yet we tend to think of them as necessities.
Actually, it ran fine for me in chrome, too. I guess the first viewing was safari's fault.
Not sure why this is novel... mobile comunication has been possible for many years, cell phones didn't invent it. Walkie talkies, etc all existed long before cellular phones. In fact, I would argue walkie talkies are closer to what he was talking about since it didn't involve going to some cell tower. The two devices just communicate together.
I would stand there giving myself little pep-talks out loud, convincing myself to follow through. “Do this. It won’t kill you. It’ll be over soon.” And when I got out of that shower clean and covered in goosebumps I felt stronger and more substantial than when I’d gone in. My resolve had been tested and affirmed.

I wonder what things I do to test my resolve that I'm not currently aware of. It took him a year to figure it out for himself.

Interest rates were high because there was an inflation problem in the 1970s. Also, house prices then would be considered a bargain by today's standards-- you could buy a middle-class house in Seattle or San Francisco for what would be about $200-250k today.

I am certainly not saying that the 1960s and '70s were a perfect era. They were far from that. What I'm saying is that it wasn't nearly as difficult to advance. You had to seriously fuck up in order not to advance by default. College practically guaranteed a good job.

People who slacked off in college during the '60s entered boardrooms in the '70s and '80s. That sort of access and opportunity isn't handed out to our generation; far from it. We face stiffer competition for (except at the very top) less reward, at least economically speaking.
Teslas biggest 'problem' is that the kooks have declared him to be their patron saint and are going all overboard in attributing all kinds of nonsense to him.

Tesla didn't help matters with the way he conducted (pun definitely not intended) himself and some of the experiments he did.

But I'll bet there isn't a scientist that wouldn't give up a significant amount of money to get their hands on that classified notebook just in case there is some hidden gem in there.

IPv4 to IPv6 and vise versa is doable. It's called a NAT. Any DNS request can be translated, thus any internet access by hostname won't see a difference. Any non-hostname access can be handled statically by the OS or your router. If you're accessing by IP address you're kinda shooting your future-self in the foot anyway, it's just not good if you can't modify it for the future. Even if the entire Internet were to switch to IPv6, there are ways to make the switch transparent to end-users.

Granted, it's not foolproof, but you can't have an isomorphic projection between the two: one has a larger area of data it can address. There cannot be an IPv6 which is 100% backwards compatible with IPv4, because translation must occur at some level. Why not put the burden on the late-adopters who are dragging things down anyway?

Switch, or be left to kludge something together when everyone else has. It's essentially the mantra of digital tech. How many people support Windows 98 still? That's only been a little over 10 years.

This armageddon sounds like Y2K to me. Better start stocking up on the Spam and beans.
The companies that have the biggest budgets to test placements like this -- at high CPMs -- are brand advertisers (Gap, Coke, GM etc). Where this product fails for me is that I don't see a brand advertiser paying money to deliberately associate their brand with one of the most irritating friction points on the web.

Tho some do advertise at toll booths: http://www.e-470.com/images/plazawrap.jpg So maybe there's a fool willing to slap an ad anywhere it will stick.
Modding a console requires physically changing the hardware. I think it's reasonable to void the warranty if there's a good chance the customer accidentally broke it while trying to physically change its function. The situation with the iPhone/iPad is different because it's just a wipe of the software; no physical modding.

The article talks about wireless power transmission, which relates to your point. I think as a mathematically capable physicist, he would be well aware of the inverse cube law (volume of a sphere with distance). I wonder what he was thinking? Perhaps focussed radio, like a laser (raser? It'd still be a laser, just a non-visible frequency)

Also he didn't think of packet radio. But though extremely helpful, I'm not sure that it's absolutely necessary.

I take issue with Requirement 5, why on earth would my web server need an antivirus? Other then that everything else is pretty much a no brainier.

Well, yeh true. But at the time the main reason was he tore up the Westinghouse contract and died in relative obscurity/depression. Whereas Edison was a much more public figure.

In the later years after both their deaths many people (questioned) believed Edison had pioneered AC current (and as a result was responsible for the consumer electricity market) - none had really heard of Westinghouse/Tesla.

Facebook Privacy Issues for Canadians
There are two philosophies:

1. Hire one provider, an expert, to handle everything for you - the merchant account, your billing logic (ex. recurring billing) and the payment gateway.

2. Get the best in breed for each layer in the stack. The Chargify/Recurly/Cheddargetter set is working to be the best in class at handling billing logic. For most online services the billing logic is quite complicated (and gets increasingly complicated over time) and something that the majority of merchant account providers / gateways are not historically good at handling.

I do something similar, except I only take cold showers at the gym, before and after using the steam room. At home I take slightly longer warm showers.

It takes about a week to get used to cold showers after which the "holy shit" feeling lasts for about 10 seconds, and after 1-2 minutes you enjoy it.
I didn't know some of the unusual specifics, but then again, I don't think that I need to either. It seemed less like a tutorial on what every web developer needs to know than it was documentation on what every browser maker needs to know.

Yes. That's what makes metric expansion of spacetime elegant: it doesn't require you to suppose there's anything special about our location in the Universe. If the recession of galaxies were intertial, the only explanation would be that the Big Bang happened exactly where Earth is now, and we're at the exact center of the Universe and everything is moving away from us. It's the key absurdity that needed to be explained away.

Further, we know from more recent evidence that the Universe is homogenous on scales larger than galactic clusters. On the scales of stars and galaxies, the Universe has large expanses of empty space sprinkled with massive galaxies. Zooming out, you can see "clusters" of up to about a thousand galaxies separated by larger areas that have fewer galaxies. But once you get above that level, on the order of 10^24 to 10^25 meters, there's simply no more structure to be found. As far as we can tell, if you take a spherical region with a diameter 10^25 meters from anywhere in the Universe, it will have roughly the same amount of mass regardless of where you take it from, and the Universe is of roughly uniform density.

Although this article is understandably scant on details, I gather from the blurb "millions of such instruments from a single station," that Tesla did anticipate some sort of transmission stations to relay the traffic of the wireless handsets.

Still, a big difference between this forecast and the present state of mobile wireless is that Tesla probably expected the subscribers' handset to draw power from the microwave transmissions themselves, rather than from batteries.
"Interest rates were high because there was an inflation problem in the 1970s."

Of course they were, that's the point. That was the crappy economic situation that generation lived under; it was worse than today's, at least from a home-buying perspective.

And again, you still don't have any actual evidence for your other idyllic depictions.

I cut meat on my cutting board all the time, and for years I didn't even really use soap to wash it off. I would just scrub the meat juice off with a brush. Now I use just run-of-the-mill dish soap. The whole idea of having to sterilize everything that meat touches is pushed really hard by the soap companies on TV. I don't think it's necessary to use anything stronger than normal soap.

Also, giving up meat completely isn't easy if you go out to dinner with other people. And it gets exponentially harder the more people you go out with, given the low odds of everyone being vegetarian, or wanting to go to a vegetarian restaurant.

I think that severely reducing meat consumption is a good idea in general, but quitting cold-turkey is pretty inconvenient.

The parents of my college roommate didn't have hot water. They lived in a fairly well-off Connecticut town next door to an ESPN anchor, so money wasn't the issue it was just a personal choice. Showers were a love/hate thing for sure and I always wondered about sanitation. Will water that's not so hot it will burn you be hot enough to kill bacteria?
Ask HN: What incentivizes patent clerks to verify claims?
It would seem to me these government workers, no matter how bright, would still be most fundamentally rewarded for number of patents reviewed, and challenging a claim seems like it must be more difficult than accepting it, as a challenge requires the patent clerk to 1) claim understanding and 2) possibly cause more strain in the office if the applicant fires back. And I suspect most of these clerks have moved on and are well clear of any repercussions by the time their decisions get invalidated in court.<p>Is there any way to validate their decision-making outside the courts? Preferably much earlier?

That's a really interesting idea. When we got started on this 6 weeks ago, we were actually thinking about going down a path very similar to that, of putting it all into a desktop application, rather than building a web app. It does potentially finesse the privacy issue. We perceived the tradeoff as being between powerusers being able to extract and fully analyze the data, versus more casual users wanting the data everywhere, and getting the other general conveniences of a web app. We'll write up a blog post to try and gauge interest, thanks again for the suggestion.
