All of Japan is prone to earthquakes. The latest one actually happened to the North, in a cooler area than Tokyo. That said, Tokyo isn't particularly hot for Japan. Sure Hokkaido and Tohoku are much cooler, but Tokyo is in the coolest half of Japan.

Ping is a lot more important than an eventual earthquake even in Japan. Especially considering that all of Japan is prone to earthquakes. If you go up North, the Kinki area (Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto) will be quite far away, and lines will have much less redundancy than in a highly populated area.

In short, making a decision based on a possible huge natural disaster in the Kanto area would be a massive knee-jerk reaction.

The argument often centers on evolution vs creationism.

Yet Atheists and Christians would do well to pay more attention to Christ's resurrection, did it happen in history? Are there primary and secondary sources? How many of these sources are independent of each other and to what degree are they coherent, neutral, biased or opposed? How soon after the event were they written? Have they survived intact?

As the apostles themselves declared:

"And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead." - 1 Corinthians 15:14-15

As the person who made the Santa Claus argument, I'll say that this is spot-on.

I feel like I can hold my own in a serious discussion, but it really does get tiring making the same arguments over and over again, especially to people who tend to argue logic with non-logic.

Apologies to anyone who mistakenly saw a Q.E.D. at the end of my Santa Claus story.
With reference counting, each strong assignment has to alter at least one object's reference count in a thread-safe manner. With garbage collection, you can just assign — a fast, atomic operation.

Also, one of those "messy situations" that you'd advise us to avoid is the nigh-ubiquitous Cocoa controller-delegate pattern. That's a circular reference. With ARC, you have to explicitly break it. It's not a big darn in general, but it's a definite weakness of retain counting.

My point is that it's a massive hyperbole to call ARC "garbage collection without any of the nasty downsides."

I like that the new ecosystem relies more on HTML/Javascript, but there's a steep learning curve in regards to this new WinRT environment. Also, database and API connectivity seems like it should be improved.

Because they're building basically a "closed system" and connectivity with metro-style/ARM desktop-style apps will be really locked down, the article points out that most developers are BUILD were corporate devs and there's not much emphasis (yet) or excitement among developers regarding metro-style apps. I think this was a missed opportunity for MS because the metro-style interface could be a hotbed of innovation. MS != innovation and besides killing Silverlight, they're not doing much to promote MS/WinRT as a platform for small developers like our company. Am I wrong?

According to documents released by the NRO, each HEXAGON satellite mission lasted about 124 days, with the satellite launching four film return capsules that could send its photos back to Earth. An aircraft would catch the return capsule in mid-air by snagging its parachute following the canister's re-entry.

Some time ago, I was watching the discovery channel with my father. There was a show about the declassification of a top-secret satellite. My dad says "Oh, I guess I can talk with you about this now."

Turns out he had been working on top-secret satellites in Lockheed Martin in a secure place called the skunk-projects (he had to work in a full on sealed vault. Maybe it was called skunk-works. I don't quite remember the name).

Anyway, interesting and funny conversations followed.

It's not so bad, is it? 1000 characters should be enough to give a general idea of what kind of application you have in mind. Interested developers will contact you, and from there the details can be communicated.

I doubt there is nothing much greater in resolution. There are so many technical challenges such as diffusion due to moisture in the atmosphere that limit things practically. The resolution is basically shite from space. Certain non-visible light bandwidth applications are better as they don't suffer from the same effects however they have to then deal with cosmic radiation (which is terrible apparently) and corresponding gaps in the magnetosphere which screw up the equipment.

It's a bit hit and miss really and costs lots of money for no real good.

If they had anything significantly better, they'd have decommissioned all the Lockheed U2's by now.

That's for HEXAGON, the large-scale panoramic system. The KH-8 GAMBIT system--also declassified last week--had a substantially better ground resolution than that (think inches, not feet).

The whole point of software being open is that you aren't left at the mercy of a corporation. Honeycomb is widely considered to be ait lacklastre (as you mention, it was pushed out in a hurry). Wouldn't it have been nice if that code had been truly open-sourced so that other companies and individual hackers could have scratched their various itches, getting the software up to speed faster? Instead of that, Google has sat on the source so that they can maintain control. 'Control' is antithetical to 'open'. I can see why Google want control, and I think those arguments are valid, but they need to stop claiming that the software is open. It is tangibly not open, and the situation only seems to be getting worse as time goes by.

> A good argument is enough. I'm a mathematician and I have not read any of the original papers of Euler, Gauss, etc. but understand and accept their results fully.

Here what would answer one of my friends. He happen believe atheism is true, but more importantly, he's a literary person. So:

"To understand [such and such author]'s ideas and concepts, you have to impregnate yourself with their original thoughts. That is, you must read their original works. Secondary sources just won't do."

I tried to reply that I didn't need to read Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica to understand Newtonian physics, but he seems to think that philosophy is different. (But then, where to that "Philosophiæ" comes from? Oh yeah, he meant literary philosophy, of the kind that somehow cannot be true nor false.)

I think the root of the problem is something akin to dualism. Many people (including some atheists) postulate that between the laws of physics and the human soul, there is something that is not only unexplained (true), but actually unexplainable. In other words, "Poof Magic", though they won't ever use that ridiculous wording. So, below the "Poof Magic" threshold, we have the lowly matters that you can indeed explain. Above it, the very notion of truth is muddled.

As you may guess, "science" is placed below the threshold, and "philosophy" is placed above. The first is about facts we can check, about theories that can be improved or disproved. The second is more about schools of thought, which are neither right nor wrong, neither true nor false, they just "are" (this way, no one can claim his own school of thought is better than any other).

Another key difference between "science" and "philosophy" is the treatment of secondary sources. They can be wonderful for "science", but they are worthless for "philosophy". To understand a philosopher's ideas, you must "impregnate yourself with his thoughts", that is, read his original works. And of course you are not allowed to judge the veracity of those works.

Now here is the killer argument: theology is to be placed above the "Poof Magic" threshold. Therefore, (i) you have to read them all before you claim anything about them, and (ii) you cannot say they were false anyway, it's just a school of though, that is "by definition" no worse nor better than any other.

I have never defeated the killer argument. I need to get rid of the "Poof Magic" nonsense first, and the burden of proof is always on my shoulders. Even If I manage shake it, the real reason why people make the killer argument is because its comfortable. They can never be wrong with it, and it avoids arguments.

But, you know, if we disagree, at least one of us must be mistaken, right? Wouldn't it be interesting to know who?

No, HK not noticeably better than Japan, and Japan is only a little better than the US.

You biggest problem is that everything going into mainland China goes through the Great Firewall, which tends to slow stuff down (both lag and latency). (Outgoing data is faster, which I suspect means they don't really monitor it as actively).

The only way around TGF is to host your site in a mainland datacenter, probably getting a .cn address, and * definitely* complying with China's internet regulations.

Google does this, but it can't serve results from a mainland center (as it doesn't want to follow mainland regulations), so it gives you a link to results served by google.hk (which I think is hosted in Hong Kong, but you can probably host a .hk address in the US or Japan, since HK is pretty lax with regulations).

If you want fast mainland connections, you need a mainland datacenter, probably a .cn address, and to do that you need to follow Chinese regulations.

I don't know about North/South. Possibly some stuff is done by provincial governments. Certain zones (like Shenzhen), and people (or companies) with permission might be able to get unfiltered internet. Maybe there's two Great Firewalls, and you need two centers to get inside both. I'm not an expert.

But I'm 99% sure that HK datacenters will have the same obstacles (re TGF) that non-Chinese datacenters have.

As itsnotvalid has pointed out, some sites are best going to the effort of getting a mainland address, simply because it means China will try to work out any issues with you rather than simply banning you. As the paperwork and features are likely to take a while (I'm not an expert, but paperwork always takes time, especially if it's in another language), you might want to start the process before they ban your main site, to avoid service interruptions (and maybe for goodwill - it can't hurt to look like you want to cooperate).

Also, you can get a CDN (maybe http://en.chinacache.com/index.htm) to cache stuff. I think that would help.

I've been feeling dirty, but for other reasons.

Anything I post critical of Android and Microsoft on Hacker news gets voted up. Most criticism I post about Apple gets voted deeply sub-zeroed or for submissions, flagged and removed. And it has gotten much, much worse the last 6 months.

Hacker News is definitely turning into the monoculture Paul Graham said (here on this site) that he wanted to prevent. At this point I feel the value of having a discussion about matters here has dropped sharply and is continuing to do so.

What's the point of commenting when it will get minus'ed, despite backing your comment with verifiable data? Meanwhile the ones saying something equivalent of "I disagree (but I have no argument)" gets top votes. What's the point of submitting stories when you know it will get flagged and censored?

A culture of censorship and self-affirmation. Do really I want to be a part of that?

What is interesting is that I observe the deepest abuse of the moderation system after morning has hit the US continent. During European working hours this place is usually quite civilized. At this point Hacker news seems to contain at least two widely different cultures. I sense a clash or divide of some sort coming in the near future.

Thinking about it, my feelings right now tells me that this place has turned into a smaller, but much worse mob-rule than reddit ever was. And I quit reddit because of the completely uncritical mob-rule found there.

Time to do some reflection around my online-habbits. I hear Google+ is a great place for reasonable hacker-type discussion these days.

We'll have to wait until some GAMBIT imagery is released before we know for sure -- and it sounds like the NGA isn't terribly enthusiastic about big data releases right now. But if the best practical resolution is no better than HEXAGON could achieve, I do wonder why they went on flying HEXAGON and GAMBIT in parallel (and, indeed, why they substantially upgraded the GAMBIT optics between KH-7 and KH-8).
After years of reading Stallman haters and lovers I'm sorry to say that he is almost always right - good intentions never lead to good outcomes; only good actions from the outset. Google's failure to release the source for Android 3x maybe with good intentions, but it also pushes the envelope of what is acceptable for next time - which will probably be something like not releasing the source code for a year 'just to allow us to make some money'. Google effectively owns the internet for a lot of us, so they need to behave very very well - they need to do what Stallman says.
I'm failing to see what advantage there is to using this for your site as opposed to a more full-featured generator like nanoc or Jekyll.

This sudden epiphany from MS that the market is going mobile/ARM recalls for me their about-face regarding the Internet with Win95/98. MS has always done their best stuff when their back is against the wall.

As the article says, Win8/Metro is going to be a BIG change in the way the user interface works, so MS is losing their historically biggest advantage, that of all the bazillions of legacy apps out there.

Can MS win a straight up software-quality battle with iOS and Android, when they have a two, maybe three year deficit to make up? The early signs from Windows Phone 7 are not promising...
