Not actually true. You're correct that it is cheaper to get from earth to low earth orbit (LEO) than to the moon. However it is cheaper to get to LEO from the moon than from earth. This has nothing to do with altitude; it's a function of the delta-v budget -- or the amount of momentum change that is required to get from one place to another:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c9/Deltavs.s...

As you can see, getting from earth to LEO requires 9.3-10 km/s of dv, depending on the type of rocket you are using. All of this must be high-thrust propulsion, otherwise you'll immediately fall back to earth. 9.3-10 km/s of high-thrust propulsion is indeed quite costly to implement.

On the other hand, to go from the lunar surface to LEO is only 5.5 km/s of dv -- and only 1.6 km/s of this (the trip from the lunar surface to lunar orbit) needs to be under high thrust. The rest of the dv can be done with relatively inexpensive low-thrust techniques which require little or even no propellants -- such as ion propulsion, solar sails, and aerocapture.

So to a rough order of magnitude, it's 2-6 times cheaper to get to LEO from the moon than from the earth.

Edit: miscalculated the lunar surface->LEO dv requirement.

The standard deduction is a way to account for progressive taxation at the very bottom of the scale. The first $5,000-$10,000 of income isn't taxed. If you've donated to charity (also paid school tuition, and other things) in excess of that amount, you can itemize these and deduct them, in which case you don't get to claim the standard deduction. Even if you don't have any deductions to claim, you get the "standard deduction". This reduces your effective taxable income.

You only get money refunded if you have a "refundable tax credit". Tax credits lower your tax liability; refundable credits can lower it below zero liability such that you are owed money. One common refundable credit is earned by paying higher education tuition.

(It should go without saying that I'm not an accountant; I only play one on the Internet.)
This does look interesting.
Can't quite figure out if it would suit me. I'm interested in learning Rails but I haven't done any Ruby before.
I do a lot of C#, ASP.NET MVC, RavenDB, MySQL/SQL server and AppHarbor, so I understand MVC and web development environment from the .NET side.

Would you think this book and screencasts would work for my skill level or should I use another book to learn more about Ruby?

Oh, wow! I'd been working on what appears to be a Meteor-like framework with the very premise of "All the same APIs are available on the client and the server — including database APIs!" for the past few days. It came from my frustration of having to duplicate JS code on both the server and client which just seems stupid when you can provide the same API but with different end-points for each side (i.e. client -> API, server -> DB.)

The press release says:

> The free availability of Linux on the Web swiftly caused a chain-reaction leading to further development and fine-tuning worth the equivalent of 73,000 man-years. […] Linus Torvalds’ achievements have had a great impact on shared software development, networking and the openness of the web, making it accessible for millions, if not billions.

Wait a minute, shouldn't we credit Stallman for this chain reaction? Without the GPL, Linux would probably have stayed proprietary, and unsuccessful. Without the GNU system, computing would probably be much less open than it is now (I don't know what the impact on BSD would have been, though).

It seems that saying "Linux" instead of "GNU/Linux" has a significant impact after all. Or did Stallman got this very prize before Torlvalds?
Some audio players have a spectrogram visualisation, iirc Winamp has one included by default.
On the contrary, one could easily overlook:

1. the intimidation factor of the US government willing and able to do anything to any company over "intellectual property", including foreign ones, even if it falls well outside the legal jurisidiction of any state.

2. forcing the hand of foreign jurisidictions to expedite US government processes to carry out these types of activities on pain of economic issues, e.g. the infamous trade blacklists, or other on-going diplomatic relations.

3. the acquisition of assets and resources for the federal governments budget (this runs into billions every year that is siezed).

4. minimum total resource usage for highly effective results means that very little political or judicial capital risks being spent. Someone somewhere in government has likely benefitted greatly from this outcome or certainly will in future even just for the potential to recreate the same type of results.

5. the creation of precedent that causes jurisidictions formulating their own domestic rights and justice system around new technology to reconsider what is the norm or what is pragmatic based on global "standards" or actions. This is particularly strong pressure for English-speaking/Anglo countries.

All this without judicial oversight and no domestic political repurcussions because of the accepted plutocratic culture of the US.

If this had been the actions of China or Russia against a US company, e.g. against Google/Youtube, I wonder how people would have felt then...

TL;DR. One could say this is about as "ideal" as it gets: "we, the US government, can get you anytime, anywhere, for anything with little effort or reason - laws are irrelevant".

Bringing an asteroid into LEO may be too dangerous due to orbit decay.

According to this calculator, a 500ton roughly spherical rock, assuming a density of 3g/m^3 so a surface area of 3600m^2 would live for 20 years at 500km altitude.

http://www.lizard-tail.com/isana/lab/orbital_decay/

At altitudes higher than 1000km, the thing could live for centuries, although no matter how high, orbits still get perturbed eventually and decay (in the Earth-Moon system).

(Note that at 380km altitude, the ISS is never more than 1-2 years away from burning up in the atmosphere, so it needs periodic boosts to prevent it)

>Interested in writing a book, indeed...

The author makes a big point about NEW hardware being dumped, but fails to deliver. This looks like numerous companies bought HP hardware over the past 10 years, and have been tossing it here as they upgrade.

The HP drives look older to me - one is a 146GB 10K Fibre-channel drive that Amazon doesn't sell anymore. One of the labels shows "Tested Jul '05". The other is a 72GB 15k Wide Ultra320 SCSI.

The monitor is a 14.1" WXGA, which looks to max out at 1366x768. The label shows "Date of receipt: 10-May-10"

The crop of the 3rd barcode is very blurry, I couldn't figure out what was in it. Apparently they're supposed to be Samsung-branded, but the box isn't branded at all. (other than mentioning Korean assembly)

Then there are some internal Google links (sign in, Why these ads?, +You, etc).

That's it! Well done, Google.
Did he say this? Seems like a really bad analogy to me. If more people are using Meteor, for example, the entire ecosystem will grow. Even if half the devs are writing closed source, they are learning a common tool and that skill lets them contribute to the common knowledge pool (eg. they can answers questions on StackOverFlow). It also creates a bigger market for Meteor developers, thus accelerating adoption.

Title asks a question, article doesn't actually answer it.
So, part of doing your taxes in the US is figuring out the actual amount of income that will be used to calculate the tax. This isn't just the sum of all the money you made; you are permitted to also figure up how much money you spent on certain types of expenses, and subtract that amount from your income. The permitted types are things like medical bills, payments of other types of tax, etc.

So suppose someone had $60,000 income, and $5,000 in expenses which fall into the permitted categories; they could calculate their tax as if their income was $55,000.

But to do this, you must use what is called "itemized deduction"; you must be able, if asked, to provide documentation of the amount of each expense and proof that it was of a permitted type.

Or you can use the "standard deduction". This is a simple flat amount that anyone can apply with no questions asked. For example, if the standard deduction was $6,000, the person above with $60,000 income could simply apply the standard deduction and pay tax on income of $54,000, and not have to document any specific expenses.

The exact amount of the deduction depends on whether you are single or married, have children you pay to care for, etc.

Some people spend a lot of time figuring out which option will result in the lowest amount of tax; most people just use the standard deduction unless they know that they have enough large expenses to be worth the trouble of itemizing.

For some people with low income, this means they pay no tax at all, or even receive a refund -- in the US, employers have you fill out a form stating how you plan to file your taxes (i.e., if you will be applying deductions for being married/having children/etc.) and automatically withhold from your pay and send to the IRS an amount calculated to match what you will probably owe. If the amount withheld is greater than the amount of tax you actually needed to pay, you receive money back. Some people with higher income also deliberately have their withholding set high; this is based on the idea that it is better to withhold too much and receive a refund than it is to withhold too little and perhaps have an unexpectedly large tax bill that must suddenly be paid.

> what story it tells

I think of a "story" as a narrative: a sequence of events involving characters. In an epic story, there's a hero, a quest, thresholds, guardians, a special world, obstacles, tests, allies, a shadow, a return etc. Could you elaborate on what "story" means in terms of design?

As an avid dumpster diver, nothing irks me more than seeing people throw away perfectly functional equipment that they just don't have a 'fashion sense' for, any more.

I'm rapidly accruing enough material for my own data center. My kids have their own little mini-studio of keyboards, samplers, and whatnot, to deal with.

I'd love to be putting the thrown-away computers to better use in my area. If only there were some sort of really big cultural effect that could occur that would make it utterly unacceptable to take your "old computer" anywhere other than a school or education facility put in place to prevent exactly this kind of ridiculous waste from occurring ..

The typeface 'Transport' used in the UK seems to have solved most of the problems identified in this article. The article notes how good Transport is, but says it is too wide.

GPL restricts the pool of potential collaborators.

Also, GPL has served its purpose: these days 1) almost everyone realizes that it is in everyone's interest to share code and contribute back (maintaining private forks is expensive in the long term), and 2) most software is offered as a service and the value is not just in the software, but also in the infrastructure, maintenance, support, etc, meaning you rarely encounter the problem of restricted liberties because of a software license.

Note that you do not need a copyleft license to support sharing.

The actual effect is to not tax the last $5,000 to $10,000 of income.

If you assert that people with low incomes wouldn't have itemized expenses greater than the standard deduction then it is somewhat progressive, but deductions in general are of greater benefit to people with higher marginal rates.
Back in the day I worked for BT and had memorable mail addresses such as 018222211 (Prestel) and 80:BTG174 (Dialcom/Telecom Gold) at least the Telecom Gold ones where slightly memorable as the prefix BTG stood for British Telecom Gold.
The index page for the site gives a good explanation, "Note that this is not a commercial site. Other than being fairly old, the code and work here is no longer supported.

However, while not everything here is cutting edge, polished, bug-free, or 'ready-to-run', everything here should be interesting and educational for all users (even the more out of date sections), even today."

So some things have surely aged better than others. Sometimes older resources like this can be helpful in building some context.
Although I agree with what you're saying sometimes spending more time on eye candy than the actual design can be useful.

Eye candy doesn't help the user with navigation or add functionality but it can make a website look more professional and in-turn more trustworthy.

For e commerce websites getting the users trust is an important consideration and I'd argue eye candy is maybe just as important as the design.

Of course in the case of Hacker News I wouldn't like to see this kind of redesign implemented and would prefer the focus of the site's design to be solely on improving it's functionality and usability.
