Thanks! and much luck :)
Ya, that's 22.5 mph. That's on the pretty high end already on flat ground. When you factor in traffic lights, he has to go even faster. At such a power level (2x that of riding a moderate 16 mph), I can't see how he wouldn't be breathing hard and sweating a lot.
I'm guessing you weren't at the talk and therefore are making some assumptions about the participants and their behavior based on the 4 minutes of video you just saw.
You're right. Labeling the Dalai Lama as a terrorist, without trial, is just as bad as labeling Osama Bin Laden as a terrorist, without trial.

As for the truth in it, I've already hinted at my answer to that: applying the label "terrorist" to any person or organization without a fair trial (or a trial at all) should be treated with the same disgust, regardless of whether it's done by the West or the East.

Editing Images With Pinta
I'm inclined to say much or all of the background is indeed all rear-projected. If you look at the top-right around 5:06 or 5:07, you see what looks a lot like it might be light-emitting text floating in midair. (EDIT: Correction! It's not just floating there, it scrolls left just as the camera is coming down, I missed that on the first viewing. So it's definitely not just on a physical banner.)

As for "massive resolution", slicing up a framebuffer and shooting out the components to multiple projectors wouldn't be a new idea, and I'll bet that's what was done here.
Actually, it was easier to emigrate from the USSR for Jewish men and women than for the rest of the nation due to refugee programs that US offers for minorities suffering persecution. I think other countries offer those two.

I am one of the people whose parents emigrated in 2004 as Christian refugees, btw. They had to prove they suffered from religious persecution (bible raids, not getting into colleges, etc).

The whole 'give me your poor and hungry' thing never really went away ;-)
Nope. Not bcuz Dalai Lama, but bcuz it is Google's Market. NOT Baidu's, NOT Windows Phone's, NOT Apple's, I think
Interesting facts, but here's one I didn't understand:

"By 2012, there will be 2.3 billion mobile devices in use, the equivalent of 70% of the world’s population."

What does that mean? Something bad will happen between now and beginning of January? Virus infecting drones (mobile devices), to terminate 3.5 billion people, so that 2.3 billion = 0.7 * world population in 2012, for example?

AUTO INSURANCE COVERAGE IN SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR
I'm not "spinning" anything, simply posting some comments because there are a few points a lot of people are overlooking in their knee-jerk rush.

One is that the court case hinged on the claim that the policy was secret. The court's response was that the ID requirement was clearly posted for everyone to see, and that when Gilmore asked about it, he was told how he could fly without presenting ID. Legally, this is entirely correct.

Another is that secrets are not automatically the end of the world. Secret rules aren't even illegal, much less unconstitutional; if that were the case, many defense-related regulations, which do have the force of law, would have to go out the window, and effective national defense would be essentially impossible.

A third is a lurking suspicion that if we remove the bogeyman g-word ("government") from the picture, the stock responses on HN would be wildly different.

If instead we had a cabal of airline executives who'd formed a cartel of sufficient clout to quash all competition, and they agreed amongst themselves to implement contracts requiring all passengers to present ID but refused to make public the details of their agreement, I'm almost certain there would be people here loudly defending it. It would be a noble triumph of free-market capitalism. The passengers would obviously be negotiating away their "rights" through a free and fair exchange protected by the holy sanctity of contract. But of course, in that case it would just be a shadowy cabal of possibly unknown people who aren't bound by any rules anywhere (we must never interfere in the free market), rather than a cabal of publicly-identifiable people who are accountable to the Constitution and to elections.
Hint: Dart is a dynamically typed language. The covariant generics and the implicit downcasts are there on purpose.

The lack of an arguments object is a feature not a bug. A rest argument like in Lisp is much better for optimization. The design isn't done yet given that Dart has optional arguments a rest argument would fit in.
Moral questions aside, I wonder if forcing entire ethnic groups to "perform for the country" in order to earn social status is really that bad. A lot of countries have done it across the centuries (Rome, France, UK, Arabs... and more recently US and USSR); they were usually successful in "extracting value" from those groups in the short term, while in the long term fostering a sense of belonging to a non-discriminatory ideal of citizenship.

Even in this case, the Soviets might have discriminated generations of Jews, but then they produced a Perelman.

Great comment and the length of it just goes to show how complex the issue is.

If we were to add contemporary issues things would get even more complicated: Zionism and Israeli policies has created a lot of anger against 'Jews'. This has much less to do with ethnicity than historical anti-semitism, but the two get conflated which leaves everybody confused and talking past eachother. Add to the mix the fact that Jews dominate banking and media (I assume this is accepted as fact and not conspiracy theory), industries that get little love these days.

I do not want the core technologies on which the web is built owned or controlled by any one company. No matter how you look at it Dart is not a standard, it's not controlled or directed by any open body and its development is not public.

It took a goddamn decade to break Microsoft's endless attempts to own core web technology, if you're happy with another company doing it just because you think they're a 'nice' company you're the fool.

There is a large, public and active effort to solve many of the issues JS has, it's called Harmony. Maybe you should get involved with that instead of jumping on a proprietary bandwagon.

I think that your agreeing with me, but do you know what SODaniel is meaning? Is his/her argument that Apple exploited mature markets? I'd like to understand that idea. Is it somehow meaning that Apple products are for 50+ year olds? That's pretty much the opposite of who I see using them, but that's just anecdata.
To a degree. Initially as you lose weight, riding at X mph will require less power (moving a lighter object!), so you will sweat less.

But once you reach a reasonable weight and are just gaining muscle and cardio power, added fitness level just allows you to emit more power for longer. But sweat levels are pretty much just related to power (how much heat you generate) - and of course cooling.

At Grandparent's speed (22.5 mph) on flat ground, he's going to produce massive power to overcome air resistance. The effective fan will help cool him down/dissipate sweat, but especially in body areas that don't get such a good air blast, he will end up soaked.
If only someone would come up with a collection of standard licenses covering all the reasonable scenarios with both good legal language and an understandable summary.

Python has always had it to some degree, but merging these sorts of things into the core language is what major releases are for. No language is perfect. I think the reason you see this upvoted so much is there are so many Python programmers who want to see this on the roadmap for future versions of Python (and it probably will be.)
90% of these give me a headache. I don't like any identically repeating pattern, it looks like it's moving to me. I think what happens is that when I glance at it, my brain sometimes matches up right and left eye with some offset.

I like the non-identical patterns, though. Introducing a little noise helps. Not sure why half the patterns are solid black rectangles either.

I don't understand why someone would learn to use Dart, Coffescript etc when the effort could be put into developing a deeper understanding of javascript.

All I ever hear from developers sometimes is how browser X is breaking standards and then something like this comes along and I can't help but face palm. I'm embarrassed by the relentless pursuit of non-existent perfection from the developer community. Sometimes you just need to get the job done with the tools you have, and and learn to fucking use them instead of pursuing the grail.

I'll take the alleged mob mentality over Google elitism any day of the week. Google can try to move the web any direction it feels is appropriate - it's Google's time, it's Google's money - but let's be clear: JavaScript is not as deficient as you might think it is, and the JavaScript community is not dumb to expect more than what Dart has offered so far (in an admittedly short span of time).

"There are just two kinds of languages: the ones everybody complains about and the ones nobody uses."

Probably over-quoted these days, but I think we all know where JavaScript falls.
Blind deconvolution is easier in the time domain, and for digital signals (because you know both the input and output can have only certain levels, thus constraining the problem). It's been used routinely in modems for years.

Perhaps the discontent comes because China is seen as something of an expeditionary market for American search providers. While you can give China the finger and get out, it's not tenable to do that in the US, so one is compelled to play by American rules.

I don't necessarily believe that China's status as an expeditionary market makes it worthwhile to stop offering services in that country, just playing devil's advocate I guess.

Intel's Brewing A New Linux Driver Release Cycle
Yes, the 6 minutes per mile thing seemed weird to me. I live and work in SF now, but I used to work in Santa Clara, and I would do the drive in about 40 minutes -- just about 1 minute per mile. I drove at non-peak times, and my off-highway time was usually no more than about 10 minutes.

Then I started working in San Mateo... half the distance, but usually 25-30 minutes. Off-highway time increased, and on-highway decreased. Still, though, a far cry from 6 min/mile.

But I'm so much happier now that my commute involves only 6 blocks of walking and a 20 minute bus ride. I can even read on the bus! It's great, though the lack of control over my transportation still bothers me.

Would there be so much anger at zionism if they were Christian?

I doubt it, if you compare Israel with e.g. the surrounding dictators -- and (at least here in Europe). Israel gets at least two factors of ten more criticism (before March this year) for arguably much less.

The first time when I read criticism of Tunisia's dictator in Swedish media, was when he fled.

(I'm not claiming you can't criticise Israel, democracies with terror problems tend to throw out the law book (Germany, USA, England, Spain, etc). I'm comparing amount of criticism.)
Will cloud security ever be sufficient?
I don't understand some of your arguments.

"50% of the population doesn't pay federal income taxes. How is this not a tax break?"

The last time I paid no income taxes, it was because I made so very little money. My understanding is that because I make so little it is understood that it is better for me to keep that money than to shuffle it around in government assistance.

Now, with a 50%, that would imply that half the population lives on a small amount of money, and thus be an argument that something is not at all balanced.

Or, if you think the 50% makes perfectly good amounts of money thus they could afford taxes, and the people making small amounts are paying too much taxes, then again, I think you are only bolstering the arguments of those you are arguing against.

Your other comments don't seem logical to me either (people start businesses in european countries all the time, cell phones can be cheap on a prepaid plan, it is arguable that you do need a phone to live in today's society, etc). Saying 30% of people do not have health care is shocking to anyone who thinks health care fundamental for life (you take care of your car, but not your body?).

Of course I have made a lot of assumptions in what I've written, but without understanding your assumptions and what you are trying to say, I could only use this as arguments to why I should support the protestors.

But, if the content companies are going to charge Netflix customers for shows they don't watch too, it is going to be very difficult for Netflix to compete.

Again this is more complicated than just that. The great bulk of responses and opposition to Zionist and Israeli policies comes from the Arab and Muslim world.

Since this opposition is shared by many westerners, I think a lot of westerners assume that it is shared based on similar reasoning. Human rights, international law, national freedoms. But the reality is that a substantial portions is nationalist/religious/xenophobic/nationalistic/scapegoating.

Belief in arab countries that Israel was behind 9-11 or some other local event (eg shark attacks in egypt)* is very common. Lots of easily verifiable made up stories are common knowledge. A lot of the old anti-semetic propoganda is distributed in the greater Muslim world via mainstream local media (I saw an article about the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion,' a Czarist propoganda document that has a special place in most Jews consciousness, discussed in an Indonesian magazine. It's also in the Hamas charter document* .

A lot of the complaints that are interpreted as objections to human rights violations or similar are (when seen in context) really objections to non Muslim rule in 'Muslim Lands' (as opposed to lands where muslims live) or various conspiracy delusions.

I'm not trying to justify Israeli policy. I think it's immoral and stupid. But the type of objection to it do not make me think that changing policy will result in substantial changes in attitude, though they might provide an incremental improvement.

It's mentioned at the very end of the article (I skimmed).

"In the nineteen-eighties, when Harvard was accused of enforcing a secret quota on Asian admissions, its defense was that once you adjusted for the preferences given to the children of alumni and for the preferences given to athletes, Asians really weren’t being discriminated against. But you could sense Harvard’s exasperation that the issue was being raised at all. If Harvard had too many Asians, it wouldn’t be Harvard, just as Harvard wouldn’t be Harvard with too many Jews or pansies or parlor pinks or shy types or short people with big ears."
Your comments would be even more germane 100 years ago. Why didn't that lead to a crisis?

Either the economy is fundamentally broken (and must have been for over a century) or perhaps it's simply a failure to grasp the subtleties and richness of the way the economy works.

I would think search queries are getting less diverse now, especially with google suggest giving you autocompletion - I find it very often gives much better results to look at the top domain queries (e.g "online marketing strategies", "online marketing tips", "online marketing best practices" for marketing), look at the results, have a feel for what the right wording is, and then refine your queries.

I find that much easier to do than randomly type the first sentence that comes to mind.
