Skyscrapers aren't that tall either. Burj Khalifa is only 830 meters tall, which is about half the distance from here to the neighborhood store.

At 21,000 meters, the U-2 didn't fly that high. That's only a half marathon, and many people can run that distance easily.

In other words, I fail to understand your point, even omitting the 7.9km/second sideways velocity for LEO.

For any given regulatory measure X, no matter how basic common sense it sounds or how 'human rights'-like it is, there will always be someone that thinks that free market should trump X because in the long term the market actors will magically evolve by themselves towards their best interests and the optimum equilibrium so X is not needed.

Come to think of it, even I am unsure about choosing between free market capitalism and having a bunch of old-age senators writing laws about something that they don't understand (considering that they're clueless about the feasibility of implementing what they legislate at the technical level).
That's the problem: not millions, but a million (1.6). And there're not so many millions left (if any at all). While for Pinterest it's just the beginning.

Maybe for small regional flights. My numbers where for huge 400-500 passenger planes.

By my calculations a smaller 70 passenger plane would use around 1/5 the energy per air change, and they typically fly for only an hour or two. So for an air change every half an hour it would cost them around $4 per flight (and that's assuming low efficiency). So $100 profit is still possible (although I have to say that that's amazing low, but I'll take your word for it).
> The organizer can instantly tell when one or more participants are causing feedback or noise, and mute them.

Noise is the worse problem with current software and this is far from a great solution. Why can't the software just do smart noise canceling? Feedback is easy to detect on software, just keep the last 10sec or so on buffer, if current noise is similar to the buffer, just subtract. Why do current conference software just don't do proper noise cancelling? Am I missing something?

I keep feeling that working remotely would be so much more efficient, less people would need to drive to the same physical location, less cars would be needed. If only conference software didn't suck so hard. This is so disappointing.
I had the same thought about nominal vs anomaly. When the word for a good thing is so close to the word for a bad thing, that's bad. Perhaps they have a standard where they've banned the speaking of "anomaly" on all operations audio channels. I'd ban it.

I've never tried it, but on my phone you just select the account in settings and in the menu is "remove account". Does that force a reset when you select it?

Having kids also helps you with the "walking" aspect. A daily walk around the 'hood with a stroller, and at a later age combined with some "culture-dependent ball game" time, gives you some "free" opportunities to burn them calories.

P.S. besides, with kids you'll have no time for video games, so that's a solution from another angle ;-)

I love butter too and I weight 80kg, I am very tall(basket player level tall). None of those problems.

40 years ago Americans used to eat lots of butter and fats(way more than today) and they were fit.

My advice is:

Forget about eating sugar, not fat. Fat is natural, we had eaten it since man is man, fat is in animals with the meat and all tribes everywere(From Papua New Guinea to the Amazon) have horrible histories about those that did not eat fat(because those that do not become ill as fat is essential for the immune system and heart, among others) .

Refined sugar is not natural, you should buy fruit as it has antioxidants and lots of fiber so you don't become addicted to sugar(fiber reduces your sugar blood concentration orders of magnitude).

Never mix sugar with fat, if you do add lots of fiber, like lettuce or broccoli or fruit(if you don't like them, make an habit and you will like it over time).

Replace refined rice or wheat or corn (flours) with entire grains(integral cereals). They are ugly but way more healthy.

Learn to cook yourself. It took years for you to get where you are and you need to understand that you need years to get out. Don't try miracles but learn how to get healthy step by step.
Honestly, this is the real value. Making the gigantic dreams seem possible again.

I've been smiling for an hour now.

It's an extremely common mistake to think that the pop psychology we pick up by sheer experience is a sufficient measure to understand what works. It's entirely too easy to forget that we, personally, are largely unaware of any proven methods for cultivating gardens. We're running off the anecdotal data that just happens to stick to our brains like burrs on a fur coat.

As others have duly stated, there are many people who are more than willing to pay for the privilege of trolling. It might not even start that way: I paid $40/mo to play a particular online game, and maintained my subscription as my play dwindled and my forum trolling increased. I eventually cancelled, but that was not an altruistic action: I simply needed to stop posting, and to stop paying for a game I didn't enjoy anymore. If someone has a similar experience with HN, you're relying on their self-control to end their own privileges.

Quite frankly, no one knows how to police a community perfectly. This is why religion was invented, after all, why politics exists. And see how that turned out, a few thousand years later. We're struggling damn hard, despite all the progress.

You never know what people will do. Every action, every ban, every harsh or kind word, every (pay)wall around the garden, every disincentive, carrot, stick, every reputation system, every voting system... you're going off your gut, at the end of the day, because there is no unified theory of sociology you can tap to actually justify it.
In addition to what icebraining said, analytics and adsense aren't associated with your account. Adsense (which uses the doubleclick cookie) actually can't be associated with your account under Google's agreement to acquire doubleclick. That's why the ads preferences page is somewhat off base for most people and is empty if you clear or block the cookie or view the page in incognito mode.

The problem with this is that the express editions are a stepping stone for new / younger programmers (and for devs wanting to contribute to OSS). The harm that it'll do will be to the whole .NET platform (and the ability to find good .NET devs in the mid-long term), which would overshadow any benefits of people moving to MonoDevelop or similar (they're more likely to just move to other languages).

Not sure what Microsoft is trying to achieve by this - it's a bit of a shift from their previous stance of giving as much stuff to developers as possible, using that to prop up the windows ecosystem.
But is it any simpler than other more open-ended tools? Python+pygame is really popular for prototyping little game ideas, for instance.

I think the point about choosing Processing, for most people, is the simple and well-established path to do:

1 - graphic-oriented apps

2 - stuff that can run in the browser (although Java applets are a massive PITA, sadly, and are slowly but steadily being phased out)

3 - not much else (actual feature: the excess of choice is overwhelming for a beginner)

And then I have this concern that many students, when already proficient in an "introductory language" never quite find the motivation to jump to another language with significantly different structure and syntax. Since proficiency in an introductory language is achieved rather early, it becomes a dead end before they can develop a "real taste" for advanced programming. This has happened to a lot of people I know. Many of my friends started in the 80s with Sinclair BASIC or some other BASIC (C64, C128, Oric, MSX, etc). These have, for the most part, enough built-in graphic primitives to toy around a lot and make simple games with little experience, even with the limited hardware of the time. But then, the next step in order to overcome these nice but slow interpreters was usually assembly or complex compiled languages (usually proprietary implementations, expensive and with obscure support). So they stopped right there.

It's not so bad now but the wall is still there.

Home based business
A home business (or "home-based business" or "HBB") is a small business that operates from the business owner's home office. In addition to location, home businesses are usually defined by having a very small number of employees, usually all immediate family of the business owner, in which case it is also a family business. Home businesses generally lack shop frontage, customer parking and street advertising signs..http://www.citiwide.com.au/

Which is why you get handcuffed and not allowed to use your phone. You think you're being big and clever but if the phone contained evidence you'd be looking at attempting to pervert the course of justice (cf Rebecca Brooks right now).
Pretty much every police van already has constantly running video, all the custody areas of police stations do. And unlike the US that video doesn't get "lost" if you make any complaint.
Yep, it's sneaky too.

It appears as an option so you'd assume it just does it, but when you go ahead and try it, it's just a friendly message telling you that you actually need to do a factory reset and a friendly warning that you will lose all your information and installed applications. There are ways - 3rd party apps - to easily restore/backup app lists but you usually lose any app information you had there, like hiscores or contacts for instance, and of course paid apps.

Google social engineering at its best.
PD: Oh, and forget about the stupid "calories in, calories out" non sense. Your body is not a Bunsen burner. Your body could take what it needs(and let the remain on your waste) and calories are not equal(even different sugars have completely different metabolism pathways).

Better: get a mentor that really knows, not a person that just has a title but someone that has result under her belt.

It is worth pointing out this merely enables you to get your phone back quicker in cases where the police could already seize your phone. It won't be a case of everyone who gets arrested having it scanned. Firstly there isn't any authority to do so, secondly it isn't worth it time wise.

5 Tips for Networking
I can't imagine a way that #1, #2 or #4 would be able to "break the web". Worse case scenario is they add a tiny amount of overhead. #3 might cause a tiny minority of websites to stop working, but they'd get fixed quickly if #3 was implemented.
Video games are a leisure activity. They might not be quite as mentally engaging as commenting on HN or programming, but they provide the same functionality.

Making a distinction between time spent playing video games and time spent doing other leisure activities is fairly pointless. Managed properly, there's no real physical difference between playing a video game for 20 hours a week and reading a novel, watching TV, commenting on HN, programming or any other fairly motionless activity. I know that I (as a relatively fit 21 year old) spend quite a lot of time sat in front of a computer. Physically the activity is fairly irrelevant.

Perhaps the only thing that video games have that the other activities I mentioned don't is that they have a fairly high potential to be addictive. I'd imagine most people who've played video games at any point know what it's like to play for 10 hours straight for an entire weekend. You don't have to do that, but people do.

Regardless, a sedentary lifestyle with no regular exercise will lead to health problems which increase the likelihood of death. That's something we've known for decades. Don't count "time spent playing video games", count "time spent sitting down".
The market cap is for potential, not reality. It's a gamble, but IPO market caps are never about reality - they're always about getting money.
BSA piracy study 'exaggerating $63bn losses'
Setting aside the fact that this source is a random person blogging and quoting a pilot (his job is flying, not dealing with air-con), the fact that airplane air "isn't as disgusting as you think" doesn't mean it isn't more disgusting now than it was when smoking was allowed.

I don't have a source and am too lazy to find one, but it was stated on QI which is a show with a team of good researchers, they can on occasion be wrong (and have corrected themselves for mistakes in previous shows in the past), but they won't put a fact into a show without getting good sources for it, so if they say that air gets recycled less now than when smoking was allowed, I believe them.

It's a comedy show, but that doesn't mean they don't take facts seriously. As I said in another comment further down, QI is:

a show with a team of good researchers, they can on occasion be wrong (and have corrected themselves for mistakes in previous shows in the past), but they won't put a fact into a show without getting good sources for it

So while they may be wrong in this instance, the fact that they are a comedy show isn't reason enough to think so.
