I find quite absurd the concept of bringing back home the explorer's dead body. Seamen traditionally are buried at sea, it seems quite obvious that the right thing to do for a space explorer is to be made a permanent asteroid.

I used to work for... A press agency you've all heard of. We had lots of big prints up about the place. Now, some of these were shot on films like Fuji NPZ (ISO 800 colour negative) or first-generation photojournalist DSLRs (e.g. Nikon D1H, 2.1MP). At 60x40", they looked great. Nikon knew this; their second generation was "only" 4MP (D2H).

What matters in resolution is lp/mm; that is how many distinct pairs of black and white lines can fit within 1mm. See here: http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/digital/size_matters.ht... The long and the short of it is, unless you are shooting on a tripod with a cable release and a prime lens, there's really not much point worrying about megapixels. I once had a huge row with people on a mailing list about this; try as I might I couldn't make them understand the simple idea that it doesn't matter how many pixels you have if they can't all be assigned distinct values, there's no additional resolution there. They were the kind of people that bought the most expensive DSLR and stuck the cheapest lens on it. Then again if you'd spent 5 grand on a camera and someone did the maths for you you might be upset too... ;-)

Also note that cinema is only 2000 pixels across.
Maybe it was just a big PR stunt. If they wait a few weeks to resubmit the app they'll get a second wave of bloggers rejoicing about the return of the application citing it as the best iPhone camera app. They lose a few weeks of revenue but they may have calculated a big press bump makes up for it and then some.

>HDR images are controversial. Some people hate them, and think it produces garish pictures. Others love the flexibility to shoot pictures in challenging lighting conditions.

Really? Since when? Pretty much anyone who has any concept of the limitations of camera tech thinks HDR is the only real option for simulating what / how people see the world. Sure you can do horrible things with it; you can do the same with any useful tool.

It depends. Some ask a payment others don't. They generally require an audit of the CA which is what is charged for. The audit is preferably done by an independent company specialize in such activity.

CACert provide free certificates and are trying hard to get their root CA certificate approved. By the time it takes I assume it is very difficult.

The late literacy issue is a very interesting one. I think there is something to be said that different children are best ready to read at different ages.

Supposedly in Finland they don't start school to learn to read until age 7 and their country is ranked #1 worldwide in education.

Among unschooling circles, one hears about children who have no interest in reading until age 10, then suddenly learn to read and go on to be an english lit major at a reputable school or such.

I believe I read that Jessica Watson, the Australian young woman who recently broke the record for youngest solo nonstop circumnavigation, learned to read at age 10.
I have to agree 100% with this story. I have recently taken up a taste for scotch. Not only do I drink less, I save money because I'm drinking less. Here in SF a beer or non-scotch drink might range from $5-$10. I can get one scotch for usually $8-$11 dollars, drink it for 2-3x longer than other folks with their beer and cocktails, and in the end save money even if I have a second.

I had some Blue label on Saturday. Oh my, so so lovely...
Given the obvious bias displayed in the sweeping conclusions drawn in that post, I'm not inclined to put a lot of faith in the author. There are so many possible biases in that comparison.

For example, it's pretty well accepted that it's better to be high-income in the US than in Sweden, so if you for some reason have a population that is in the upper income levels in the US (due to being white and long-resident, for example) it's not surprising that they would have higher income than in Sweden. As Sweden is a much more redistributive society than the US, the upper income levels in the US are, as a matter of speaking, subsidized by the lower-income levels. And there are a lot more lower income levels in the US than in Sweden.

The conclusion that "The U.S would be even richer and have much less poverty if it was made up entirely of Swedes" is ridiculous. It's equivalent to saying "the US would be even richer if it was made up entirely of the people that make a lot of money", which completely ignores the fact that the US economy depends on low-wage earners to a completely different degree than Sweden does.
That's a good point. Hawking's argument presupposes a purely natural universal gravitation, the problems with which assumption were exposed several years ago by Burdett et al., as reported here: <http://www.theonion.com/articles/evangelical-scientists-refu...;
Quantum crypto and classical crypto are both susceptible to faults in implementation. Big freakin' deal. Here's why Quantum crypto is the future:

If you encode something via any classical crypto system (e.g. RSA) it's usually based on something that is computationally difficult to crack rather than something that is impossible to crack. You can usually find somebody willing to tell you it will somewhere on the order of thousands of years to crack that message, even assuming Moore's law growing resources. That's utter crap. In reality, algorithms continually evolve such that encryption algorithms become insecure in a matter of decades, and that's without disruptive algorithms/tech. (e.g. Quantum computing will shake things up bigtime if and when it happens, but 4096 bit RSA will probably be toast long before that happens.)

Here's where things get scary. Any encrypted message you send today that is encrypted classically can be archived by an eavesdropper without your knowledge and cracked at any point in the future. Your credit card info is going to change before that's likely to happen, but what about your medical records? If information is going to remain sensitive for decades or more, it's already idiotic to protect it with classical encryption.

So how is quantum crypto different? Why can't an eavesdropper just archive a quantum encrypted message and crack it at their leisure the way they can with a classically encrypted message? The answer boils down to the no-cloning theorem, which I encourage you to look into if you're interested. To be brief, quantum crypto algorithms rely on exchanges of quantum states that, if an eavesdropper attempts to intercept and copy, will introduce errors that will alert the sender/receiver to the fact that they are being eavesdropped upon. With quantum crypto, an eavesdropper can obtain no information unless she has an attack that works at the time the message is sent. The attack mentioned in the article is no different. This isn't like DES, where the vulnerability means that all past messages sent can now be trivially cracked. It means that future messages might be compromised if upgrades are not made, but that's it.

With quantum crypto you only have to worry about attacks that can be made with existing knowledge and technology, not all attacks that could be made in the future. If you send a message via quantum crypto and it's safe when you send it, it will be safe for all time. Not just for a while like with classical crypto.

Classical encryption is not safe. It's safe for a while. Quantum crypto is actually safe.
I don't think anybody's seriously arguing that a majority of people would just sit around, but more government funding or regulation services would throw incentives out of whack.

I am from Kerala. This was obviously big news when it happened. But on my mind, this was a closed issue a few years back, when it was 'proved' that the colour was due to some algae. I'm a bit surprised by this now, and also surprised that none of the local papers have carried the story.
Have you tried the 10 year old Ardbeg? That might change your mind on the smokiest.
I don't think your experience is really that common. First of all, I get most of my TV from bittorrent via RSS. I just subscribe and it's automatically on my harddrive ready to plan less than 24 hours after it aired with the commercials clipped out. No special sites required. No logins. No hassle at all.

For movies, same deal. As long the movie is out on DVD, I can find it in minutes from any popular search site and have it downloaded within 30 minutes. I've never had a bad result. As for RIAA, I do have an IP filter installed but even that was extremely easy.
There is nothing on Mars worth dying for. Build the lander if you must, let the defense contractors collect their contracts, then blow it up on the launchpad. All objectives accomplished, everyone goes home to their families.
You have hit on a way of thinking that, for me, was inspired by reading David Sirlin's masterpiece 'Playing to Win'. The book is available on amazon or for free on his website http://www.sirlin.net/ptw

Although the book focuses on competitive video games it quickly establishes an important point that can be applied to nearly every situation in life: There are two types of people in a situation, "scrubs" who make up a subset of rules for the 'game' they are playing and those who understand the true extent of the rules.

One view I hold as a result of this thinking is my strong support for financial regulation. I was depressed to see so many people pointing fingers at wall street and talking about them being so immoral and corrupt. What they did was extremely damaging to society as a whole, but their motivation lies in winning their 'game' which is the money acquisition objective; and they pushed to the very border of what the rules were. Those playing the game came out very successfully; society may be crumbling around them, but they have their huge bonuses. Going angry-mob on someone for successfully achieving their objectives is just being a scrub. Most people talk about how they violated rules that don't exist: imaginary rules hiding behind noble sounding words like ethics or morality.

While the scenario can be depressing looking at it that way, it ultimately is accepting reality for what it is. This is how you can chart a path to actually deal with the issue; if you don't like the way the game is played, you have to change the rules.

But in my personal life it generally has a much more positive theme to it. I learn the rules of what is valued at my company; how much depends on social behavior and how much on productive output. I learn the rules of social interactions at parties and clubs; and adjust my behavior to maximize my gains. Even on Hacker News I learn the rules of what is acceptable as a quality comment, and what is not. I think this comment will get upvoted. It adheres to the values of adding to the discussion and providing new information... along with the always popular "personal advancment" story.

It's funny to me now seeing how many people fail at various 'games' in life simply due to not understanding the rules of the games. They fight against it, like a fish swimming upstream. If you don't even understand the rules of the game, how are you supposed to gain skill at it?

edit: Just to clarify, when I talk about the rules binding things like the financial system I do not mean the regulations alone (which may be broken through corruption as others have pointed out). Those rules are actually a subset; viewing them as absolute is scrub-talk. I am talking about the REAL rules of the game which includes 'shady' things like bribery.
Removing some of the clutter can make it look better and even simpler.
To me, that result seems really non-typical. For the majority of movies you're going to have hundreds of seeders -- they're not going to keep mislabeled movies-as-porn.
Or the recently released Ardbeg Corryvrecken, which, I think, trumps the 10 year old.
It's articles like this that make me want to work harder to get my downvoting priviledges.
I have had a totally different experience actually. I would assume that the following will hold true for most of the people in the simplest form of the arguement:
The more i like the drink the faster and more i would drink it. I am an avid scotch drinker and have been a connoisseur for several years now and (unfortunately) the suggested practice would fail miserably for me and potentially for scotch-lovers.
Doh! I got my bit-size math wrong. Thanks for pointing that out. Post is updated now.

Regarding your "Pretty bog standard run-through-the-openssl-commands run down", well, I spent quite a bit of Googling around and have yet run across any decent articles that explain what the heck all the commands mean. So I do hope my "run-through-the-openssl-commands-run-down" article helps someone clear up the confusion.
As long as the editor doesn't actually have code completion and code folding it's not an IDE. I was very enthusiastic when I first heard about Bespin but after installing the thing locally I saw it's basically just a syntax highlight layer.

I would love to see a true browser-based IDE but Bespin isn't that just yet. I see how it works for a CMS but it won't replace NetBeans or Eclipse very soon.

It seems wrong to return the body - wouldn't it be better to bury it where it died (if on Mars) or send it into space ala Star Trek (complete with bagpipes).

That would have been my choice anyway.
Reminds me of this proposal:
http://www.thespacereview.com/article/669/1

One man, one way to Mars. There's no need to carry a body then.
There may not be much on Mars worth dying for for you, but there are people who have died for a lot less glory than landing on a new planet.

Let each choose his own.
Congrats.

A small nitpick...

The A Weber Communications logo is looking jagged, you might want to re-render it or re-size it depending on how you did it.
I haven't read the paper yet but I am tempted to believe that the actual placement of football by the kicker wax also considered i.e do striker kicks the ball in the corner disproportionately more.

Also, the utility curve of stopping the ball won't be a straight line. So goalkeeper might chose a high risk high reward scenario.

Seems the author agrees that the goalkeeper acts in an optimal fashion.
In a real-world setting, it's hard for 100 prisoners to consistently assign the same ordering to a jumble of 100 boxes.
I recently had something similar happen to me. I've got an individual PPO plan and my "routine checkup" was over $400. It was less than 15 minutes long... insurance company notified me that I am responsible for $171 beyond the $30 co-pay that I was required to pay at the checkup. I'm not sure sure whether to blame the insurance or the doctor, as both are clearly screwing people out of money.

This is a really cool idea! Unfortunately it is difficult to check this for any accuracy.

It is not clear what is low, medium, and high quality, perhaps a strain name for example? (high quality - og kush) etc.

I noticed the prices were wrong in California as well, hence I bring up my point about accuracy. Cool idea, I think you just need lots and lots of people to average it all out.
I'd like to know how Mark Shuttleworth got the cert for Thawte included in Netscape (The company he later sold to Verisign for $575 Million).

I think Verisign was willing to pay so much because his certs were already grandfathered into the browsers, and it was too hard to just pay the browser companies directly.

No disrespect intended. The app looks fabulous, but the 48 hours limitation is not so bad if you have lots of time to prepare. For me the tough part about programming has been the architectural design and the research put into the tools and apis. Everything else is just typing. Having said all that the developers are still super talented to have pulled that off.

I agree. It doesn't weight much more than a paper tablet (or at least it doesn't feel like it) and that's one of the things it replaced for me. For me the size is perfect.
Actually it does if you know how to set it up. With the right setup you can subscribe to TV shows and have them waiting for you on your HTPC a few hours after they've aired for the first time anywhere in the world. Same with movies, pull simple up a web interface click a few movies you want to see and it's more often than not ready to watch 30-45 minutes later.
