The ones that go up and down hills are "cable cars". There is literally a moving cable under the street that they grab onto. So the traction issue is only there when you've released the cable grip, and are breaking.
I really like the idea but I just tried the Android app and is super buggy. Text formatting doesn't work, it seems impossible to delete docs... And that's just what I found in 5 minutes of use
So there's no evidence connecting him to Isil (which there generally isn't: Isil spread messages to sympathetic people telling them to do things - ask employees of one well known company who have an unlisted London office because someone wants to slit their throats). Recapping:

- The FBI has investigated and found no links that he was a patron of the club.

- He has, for a fact, murdered people in the name of Islam.

We can't know what he felt in his heart, but also we don't have any reason to believe his stated motives aren't his actual ones. It an uncomfortable fact, but a large percentage of Muslims say they believe in Sharia which holds some pretty awful beliefs about gay people (and women, and others).
The abstract of the paper about which the article reports is less dramatic:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.04878

"By comparing the Bayesian
evidence for the models, we find that ΛCDM does a better job globally, while the holographic
models provide a (marginally) better fit to data without very low multipoles."

So the non-holographic model seems to be better globally even according to the paper.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda-CDM_model

If the further research proves that holographic models are better, it's good too, let the best wins. But at the moment it still looks to be too early to conclude too much.
I always thought that things like Fission are best for things that will take long enough that 200ms doesn't make much of a difference such as video encoding, updating recommendations, etc. What reducing the overhead does is make it useful for more things like machine vision for images (eg: is this user uploaded image safe for work) but its still nowhere near good enough for doing a DB query that takes 1ms or serving static content.
I've tried it. It's kind of a joke, compared to Google or Microsoft's offerings in the same space.

Yup. I've also found that I check FB less often using the mobile site, which has also been good.

Agreed, I loved metal shop in junior high. Neither my family nor friends had a shop where I could learn skills like casting and welding. However, rather than modernizing these shops with CNC mills and 3D printers (for example), schools seem to just be shutting them down instead.

On the plus side, the cost of doing these things at home has been dropping. My 10 y/o daughter gets to play/learn/experiment with all kinds of stuff that I could hardly touch at her age. Arduinos and modern LEDs make for awesome electronics projects that wow her classmates, but are still cheap enough that she can smoke a part now and then. Fabrication costs are dropping thanks to 3D printers, opening a world that used to require a mill/lathe/etc. to get into. Sewing remains a low-cost hobby that lets you build very cool stuff (and for boys, too!).

Of course, it still requires a nerdy family with disposable income to provide this kind of workshop for kids. I've done a lot of projects with my daughter and her friends. For more kids to have that kind of opportunity, however, the schools are really the best place for it.
It's crazy to think we are the universe observing and trying to understand itself. Matter organised in a certain way is able to observe itself? How weird is that!
Perhaps the reason people commenting here have had so many problems with Fitbit devices is that they actually use them. From what I've seen, Fitbit's target market is primarily overweight people who don't really exercise much and leave them on the shelf.

Garmin fitness trackers have much higher build quality and seem to have a fairly good reputation among athletes. But they cost several times more than a Fitbit.
That's true, but only for fungible goods.

If you don't want to pay $5 to rent a digital copy of Frozen for your kids, then you can go to archive.org and pick a movie to watch for free. Your kids might be disappointed though.

> now sold in blow-molded plastic was in glass or aluminum back then.

and how much "greener" is it to use aluminum, whose cost is mostly due to the energy required to separate it from its oxide, than to use plastic that is a natural (yes, it comes from the earth) byproduct of oil production?

> more of the waste was in the form of of cars dumped down ravines,

that can percolate down into the waterways and ground water, versus dump in a landfill with a 4ft clay liner specifically designed to catch contaminants.

Trash-to-energy is also a thing now. Plasma from an electric arc can (somehow) incinerate trash without harmful byproducts and actually results in a surplus of energy [1]. Not to mention methane recovery from landfills that's been a thing for over a decade [2]

> The most important problem with this scheme is that there's no way to provide assurance that the browser JS runtime is what the user of an application expects it to be.

That's correct. We only use the native runtime (ie, no shims) but obviously users have to trust that that's the case unless they want to inspect the code. If there's no working window.crypto (or for certain blacklisted platforms with partial implementations) we go straight to out-of-browser keygen. Furthermore, the user has to trust that we're not sending the private key back to us by some channel: they could do this fairly easily by inspecting the code but if they're uncomfortable it's easier to click the 'make keys on my server' option.
One of the things that caught my attention watching the credits for Louie was that Louie CK himself was listed as editor in addition to his other roles.
I think as the language grows more mainstream traction you'll see people from other languages gravitate towards Elixir instead of just people from Ruby. I do feel like an outsider as I recently moved to Elixir after doing 6 years of C#/.NET and have no Ruby experience.

From the article you linked:

"What is going on is he is effectively giving Green Cards to people on H-1B visas who are
unable to get Green Cards due to the [annual] quotas… it could be over 100,000."

The INA states that no country may receive more than 7 percent of the total number of green
cards available in a given year. The executive action would bypass the INA per-country caps
for H-1B workers, essentially providing them with a fast track to U.S. citizenship.

This is a misunderstanding. There are no extra green cards handed out. All this provision does is that it removes the 7-percent-per-country quota restriction. This restriction is unfair to applicants from populous countries, and the administration was planning to remove those. Please don't spread misinformation here on HN.

"Fewer than 15 percent of the applicants were able to pass a reading, writing and math screening test geared toward a ninth-grade education." That's a low standard. This is in North Carolina, which is ranked 24th nationally. New Mexico is at the bottom.

California used to have the California High School Exit Examination, required for a high school diploma. The fail rate was about 10%. That was suspended in 2016, but may come back in 2018. From 2006 to 2015, a California high school diploma meant something.

This seems to be a much more apt analogy for most startups:

Rather than being pushed off a cliff and asked to build a rocket, they are being strapped to the rocket (of VC funding) and asked to make it to the moon.

Not to diminish the hard work that goes into building a successful startup. Not all rockets make it to the moon, as the difficulty of a moon shot isn't really in generating thrust, but thrust is a necessary but not necessarily sufficient condition.
Do you have a solution? From what I see, parents simply have no time to actually spend with kids, they have to spend the equivalent of a full apartment rent on daycare, the cost of raising kids properly is utterly unaffordable, and the cost of living and healthcare makes it impossible for one parent to stay home instead of both having jobs, and the very high probability of divorce makes it foolhardy to enter into such an arrangement in the first place. On top of all that, the time needed to get an education and get established professionally makes it very difficult to have a kid before you're 30, and the older you are the higher the likelihood of birth defects or autism or Down's syndrome. Society isn't going to do anything to help you in raising your kids, so unless you're lucky to have some really great extended family or something, it's just way too much of a risk and an expense.

I fail to see how this is "off the deep end", this is just the reality of modern American society.
> In the tasting panels, there were noticeable differences in preferences: between men and women, between foodies and nonfoodies, and, perhaps most interesting, between older people and younger people. He recalled one of the students working in his laboratory picking out the supermarket tomato as her favorite in one of the taste tests.

People like what they know. But I'm guessing repeated exposure could end up shifting the tastes.
And in the end as a founder you might end up owning a part of the business that is worth more than a highly diluted piece of a $1 billion company.
Thank you, I'll give that a try. The closest I saw in the current docs was via the `history` object, which I'd then have to provide to `<Router>`, which seemed sad. Using the props makes more sense! It looks like I want to use `withRouter` to get access to the location prop.

I have written this reply and started over 3 times -- hopefully this one sticks.

I really feel like the author boxed himself into a solution by faulty reasoning.

1) Cron jobs are not hard to set up. Being able to control these things on one or more server is just part of proper server deployment.

2) If it is not part of the application but seems to have to do with information about users who used the application in trial then maybe it should be part of the application? If you are deploying a application and you require to know information about users who trials are going to end I sure would bet that is part of the application and should be a trigger coded into the application itself.

3) I am shocked that you are already did not have a central spot for running time interval code and maintenance on your systems. At a minimum there should have been backups and reports generated on your mongodb instances. If these functions were already built into the application then then the same generic task system you used to run that is likely where you wanted to run this new functionality.

tl;dr Not knowing much about the application or its architecture I feel like the author painted themselves into a corner to justify using some AWS tools.
My specific public education system taught microeconomics, wherein prices are set by marginal cost = demand under perfect competition, and by marginal cost = marginal revenue under monopoly.

Then we were taught "classical" Adam Smith macroeconomics, a tiny dash of Mercantilist economics, and then "modern" Keynesian economics. No mention of any of the following was ever made:

Islamic economics
Hamiltonian economics
Marxism
Georgism
Chicago school (Friedman et al.)
Austrian school (von Mises et al.)
Anarchist school (Proudhon, Bakunin, et al.)
game theory

Clearly, the state's education system is teaching only that which would tend to support its own economic policy.

> The University of Florida has released our first two hybrids. We are in discussions with seed companies about licensing.

I hope they allow people to save seeds. They should patent all their source seeds immediately and mark them as open/allowing people to use any without worry of patents.

Farmers will need to be careful as always. Any seeds that happen to get cross pollinated with seeds from the big producers (Monsanto, DuPont, etc.) run the risk of paying licensing fees in our current fucked up patenting system (thanks GE).

The whole article is based on false assumptions.
Fully agreed, I still find it helpful to judge the response and general attitude of the company in question though.

In this instance, it was exactly what I was hoping for.
I like thinking of GPL and AGPL as licenses that solve the freeloader problem. Corporations and their employees love to lower their costs and externalize their costs; therefore they use MIT/BSD/Apache licensed code as much as possible and rely on what is essentially free labour to maintain that code; they rarely if ever donate.
So will this ever be available for paying customers that aren't on a business plan? If not, that is incredibly frustrating.

I pay for their service every month. I am not a business, so why should I pay more to have a feature that should be standard? Plus loads of features I don't want or need?
Yeah, they (the new owner) is finally porting OpenVMS to x64. Their roadmap shows that this is going to be a long road, though. I can't remember their name...the company that bought VMS from HP. HP is licensing it from them for their own products.
Reviews, trailers, etc.

Not perfect of course but it's pretty rare that I rent a movie after having done a modicum of research that causes me to think I've completely wasted a couple of hours. (That's not to say that movies don't ever disappoint but that's a different bar from "it sucks.")
Philosophy didn't become irrational on its own. It took Karl Marx's work to thoroughly debunked it as such (e.g. Manuscripts of 1844). At least the action and moral parts. The knowledge aspect remained open to speculation and reflection (i.e. epistemology).
What they have in common is the successful negation of Marx's work by placing philosophy on life-support, which it still is today, and by acting as if either the marxist critique never happened, or, it is equivalent to leninist/stalinist ideology.
I am. I have a friend here on refugee status from one of the relevant countries.
I was joking that if Sony ImageWorks doesn't already have a relatively complete digital backlot for just about all of Manhattan between the Spider-Man and Ghostbusters franchises alone, then what have they been doing...

The interesting/tough part would presumably be inter-effects house sharing/community work. I'm almost surprised that there doesn't seem to be a company focused entirely on reuseable digital backlots because that does seem like a niche that someone in Hollywood would already be exploring.

You could also see it coming from an outside direction, too. If I was Rockstar and already throwing hundreds of millions of dollars at digital open world simulations, I'd probably be shopping that around as the basis for digital backlot work. "Filmed 'on location' in GTA V's Los Santos" sounds almost silly right now, but I've got a feeling it won't for much longer. (Also, I would suspect it's Vancouver-based genre television that would be in the market for this before films.)
I'm curious to hear how the men/women split fits into the "people like what they know" paradigm. Is the grocery store secretly swapping out my tomatoes but not my partner's?
Finally, they released google docs. I jest, buy I am going to give them (Dropbox) another shot. Google docs is very frustrating. From dumping me into an unorganized pile of text w/o folders to just enough features to make it complicated to do basic stuff but bot enough to do advanced...or even normal stuff.

Dropbox has done some annoying stuff w/ their offerings, but i'm going to try paper out and if I don't get burned after a few months i'll upgrade to paid.

Am I missing something here, or is it only possible to easily generate Gray codes (or a similar Hamming distance 1 code if Gray refers specifically to a reflection generated code) for 2^n positions? Is there a way to do it for 12 positions like the article seems to mention? Or an odd number?
I did mention that we're supposedly going to get some big-budget sci-fi movies this year, but that's only just this year, and also this year has only started, so there's no guarantee it'll happen. Where have all these movies been for the past 15 years or so? The only ones I can think of are a couple of Tom Cruise movies (ugh), Prometheus (based on 1970s franchise), and The Martian. Given the easy availability of CGI, it's really curious why there's been such a dearth of space-based sci-fi, and personally I think it's because our society has basically lost all the optimism it had back in the 60s-80s.

I also started doing this and I believe that I found LeanPub from you years back. I started in 2013 doing a book on XML and C# and made ~$20 from it. I never finished and never marketed. That book idea got picked up by Apress and the full new version of it will be released next month. I want to write a bunch of new books in the future but will definitely do it through Leanpub and avoid the traditional publisher.
