Nasa is on Mars
The total 2010 US Space budget was $64.6B. The entire rest of the world combined spent only $22.5B. NASA's 2010 budget was $18.7B, 83% of the spending for the rest of the world. The Air Force Space Command is the remainder, they run many projects, including GPS.
You're right, space hasn't a property. Even the world, maybe, shouldn't have it as it belongs to space. Property is a human invention. Yes, it is a great day for everyone, but it is exceptionally more great for those people who financed the NASA program by paying more taxes for it. Maybe sooner or later we'll see a joint cooperation between different countries to discover farther worlds.

PS: I'm not american.
Pretty much every player in the space industry gets their funding through government (directly or indirectly). It's not so surprising that they often try to frame space exploration as an "us vs them" thing like the Cold War wasn't over. Personally, I find this attitude pretty annoying but well, I am not American either.

I thought this app was pretty amazing. I watched the landing all the way down with this and NASA TV going. I didn't even notice it had opened a non-browser application until after the landing. But I'm confused - the About dialog is just a Unity Player dialog. Can Unity be compiled to Java? Was it just Java long enough to launch something else?

It appears to have created an actual Mac app for itself at ~/.explorer.local/explorer/explorer-mac/explorer-mac.app, though it doesn't do anything but fail to connect if I run it from outside the browser.) I'm a little annoyed that I clicked through whatever dialog allowed it to do that, or that there wasn't one (I did allow Java to be installed, I guess it was the first time it's come up since I upgraded to ML, but my assumption is that next time a Java thing wants to do the same thing this app did, I won't know about it, or else won't even remember the dialog that warned me about it later)

Pros and Cons of Different Tablets for the Office
A company can't change it's fundamentals, no, but the market it operates in can change in seconds. A major disaster, announcement of a government policy, or new economic information can become available that instantly changes the fate of a company, or even a whole industry. You really want to make laws that stop people acting on information? Good luck with that.
I'm not an American but I don't feel offended in any way by the statement that this is a great day for Americans. It is both a great day for humanity and USA. The latter will ripe the technological benefits of such a milestone. The rest of us will enjoy a triumph of human spirit.
The last time I checked, in about 1000 years Mars would be pretty much owned by Leo and Inez Wong.
The achievement doesn't belong to the world. It doesn't belong to Americans either.

It belongs to the people who actually goddamn contributed to the project. The people who coded it, who built it, who put in the hard effort. Yes, American people funded it, via taxes, but they didn't actually pick to fund it, their government decided it was a good idea. A random person in the states flipping burgers is no more responsible for NASA's achievements than someone flipping burgers in France, or in China, or in Ireland.

I don't say this to be negative, or to put a downer on this fantastic event: I was watching the live-stream with my heart in my mouth, and it's an amazing achievement.

But, if we're going to bring this kind of thing up, I felt like I might as well voice my criticism of this 'couch-achieving' that seems to be to popular.

My country (NZ) currently has the most gold medals in the Olympics of any nation on Earth... provided to measure them per capita. Some people are proud of this achievement. That's fair, you could argue that some of a countries success in the games are based around the logistics of simply sourcing good people, and so the more people you have the better your chances. What doesn't make sense is when people I know talk as if they themselves achieved something.

Sorry if this is a rant, but I really wish people would just be proud of whgat they themselves have achieved, and be proud of other people when they achieve great things, instead of trying to live through other people.
Here in Vietnam I can get 500MB for $2/month and 3GB for $10/month. No contract, no questions asked. If I don't like my carrier I walk across the street to their competitor, buy a new SIM card, and I'm good to go.

This ostensibly communist country is way more free market than the U.S. in many ways.

Is everyone getting an Unauthorized response now?
That's not a resume.
I disagree. git is complicated because it does not have defaults, command line intelligence and does not have a consistent user interface. It forces you to constantly be repeating yourself and to learn a lot of detailed incantations (Like mentioning HEAD and origin and master over and over.)

I say to you, don't complain that people are complaining. People are complaining for a reason.

Have you tried some of the other DVCSes? Mercurial, or Darcs, or bazaar? Gits problem is not the problem domain, nor the backend. It's the user interface. That's the hard bit.

It depends on how the expiration works. I think tracfone's policy is fair. As long as you don't run out of service days your minutes will never expire, and you can get three months of them for $20.

This was one of the main themes in Lem's Solaris (ignore the subpar George Clooney knock-off). Really a great read for sci-fi fans.
I have a slightly negative reaction to seeing GoPro's name. Some time ago, I was looking for a way to mount my video camera on my head, and all I could find was GoPro.

They don't use standard tripod mounts. If I were a little more click-happy on Amazon I may have ended up with a mount that wouldn't fit my camera.

Sure, if you're doing 'extreme' sports, then the standard tripod mount might not be sufficent, but I was just cycling. I don't want to buy a whole new camera just for that.
It probably is but to be honest, stevia is the grossest thing i've ever tasted in my coffee ... I used to put one sugar in my coffee, dropped added sugar all together 2 months ago and tried stevia one single time. I can't exactly pin the taste but it's way too sweet and tastes chemical even though it's a natural product.

That being said, if you HAVE to add sweetener stevia is probably your best choice.
I figured the "yeah but it's free software" thing would be part of the comeback. My response is that Firefox being free is completely irrelevant to my point. I'm the owner of the computer. You should never install anything on my computer without my consent. And yes, I think it is bad for you to do that with an average user also. I, as a user, downloaded Firefox 3.x (or whatever version) and installed it. I expect Firefox 3.x to be the one that is running after I install it. I don't have a problem with the installation program putting up a dialog that says "We'd like to keep this software up to date. May we turn on automatic updates for this software? (yes/no)". As I said in my previous post, I can even begrudgingly live with the "Yes" option being checked by default. To me, it is the fact that all of this is done by default without ever asking me about it that is bad bad bad. The user should be told. A simple explanation is not difficult, and most users who would go to the trouble of installing something should be able to understand a reasonably well-written explanation. And even if only 40% of them do, it is still better that the option be given. If they don't want to be bothered with it, they are most likely going to just take the defaults anyway.

As to the nitpick about the analogy -- of course it isn't the same level of severity. It's an analogy. Installing a fire alarm system can't be compared to installing Firefox on my computer either. One takes hours, the other takes only minutes. I wasn't trying to say that breaking and entering was equivalent to covertly installing program updates without user consent. I was merely trying to complete the analogy (perhaps remote wireless fire alarm firmware updates without homeowner consent would have been a better choice -- but I didn't think of that possibility until just now. :-D )

The semi-amusing part about this whole discussion is the reason that I'm replying again. I'd installed Firefox on one of the machines in my house a while back, and I forgot to turn off the automatic updates. Started up Firefox only to have it apply the update it had automatically downloaded without my knowledge. Grrrrrrr. Sorry, this just rubs me the wrong way, and I don't like Firefox running a background service to install updates either (also an option that I didn't chose).

There was a time when computers weren't used to produce music, pictures, or movies.

Yes, and we're at that state right now with tablets. Sure, we'll get there eventually but it won't happen by fooling ourselves into contentment by saying they are already great for producing creative work.

why not celebrate these amazing new platforms

I did say that I love my iPad. I've reached the point where I don't mind paying more for e-books that I can read on it than the dead-tree version that I have to lug around with me. I also use it extensively for mail, photos and browsing.

It may eventually become a tinkerer's device. It's not there yet though.

And for designing flyers and brochures on an iPad, you're welcome to use Pages or any number of other drawing or painting apps found on the App Store

They let me use my own fonts (possibly in other languages)? Or let me cut a photo and place it on a page?

The latter may not exist because no one has done it yet (ie, not a technical limitation). I'm pretty sure the former is a limitation of the platform rules that have been set.

Anyway, I don't really disagree with much of what you say. We will eventually reach a point where creating cool stuff on the iPad is the norm. But we're not there today.

Thanks for the info, but shouldn't we be comparing civilian space budgets? Obviously dual use projects like GPS should be included but most of that 40B+ is purely military in nature.

He didn't go on a starvation diet; he went on a ketogenic diet. While there are still risks associated with this kind of weight loss, its rapidity can be attributed to a few things:

1. As water retention is significantly diminished while in ketosis. 10-15 pounds of initial loss can be sometimes be attributed to water weight coming off.

2. As jacques_chester put it below, "Gluconeogenesis is difficult and wasteful. Lipolysis is by comparison a doddle." The standard benchmarks around rate-of-loss are simply inaccurate for this metabolism.

Just as a point of reference, I've been on an MD-supervised ketogenic diet for roughly 7 months now. My blood pressure is perfect (down from stage-2 hypertension levels) and my weightloss has been phenomenal: http://i.imgur.com/nghqf.png
After noticing the percentage differences and the weight drop, I wanted to do the math to figure out how much muscle vs. fat he lost.

He went from 219.2 at 35% body fat to 195.8 at 28.1%. If you do the back of the napkin math real quick that works out as follows:

219.2 * .35 = 76.72 lbs of initial fat
219.2 - 76.72 = 142.48 lbs of lean mass

195.8 * .281 = 55.02 lbs of final fat
195.8 - 55.02 = 140.78 lbs of lean mass

That means he lost ...

1.7 lbs of muscle
21.7 lbs of fat

Normally I say that these diets are often bad, and end up putting you back further where you started because you lose so much muscle and therefore regain it all much quicker.

However in this case 92% of his weight loss was fat, which is awesome.
What does it do? Do the springs countweight her arms to give them neutral weight?
This is probably true. I've actually seen people making music with their iPad. This is one area where it probably does excel in producing work.
No. Most of you do not get it at all.
It's like selling a house you built with love and live in. You do not want to actively sell it, but if someone gives you double of the market rate, then it will be foolish not to sell. That's called passive selling. I passively sell everything :-)
When I tried stevia it had an okay taste, but the aftertaste was awful. I could never use it.

I'd like to read the other side to this. Something like "How penniless startup founders tanked my coffee shop turnover".
When people talk about SpaceX being a private company, I have to wonder how different it really is from a government run space program when every single dollar of income they have comes from the US government (via NASA. I'd be happy to to be wrong on this, let me know if I am) I am not complaining about this, I'm a big fan of SpaceX, but it doesn't seem to me that they're actually a "private space company." in a meaningful way when their funding is just as prone to political whims as NASA's.

I guess the difference is that as a private company, they're free to go find funding from other countries' governments too. But have they? And is anyone other than a government going to buy their services?

P.S. I don't really know what I'm talking about, those are actual questions, not sarcasm.
"Take" is a strange choice of words for space. Take implies possession. Possessing something as vast as the "sky" is ridiculous. Its debatable whether humanity even possesses the world we inhabit...some might say we're temporary interlopers (on a geological timescale human history is less than a eye blink) and there is no guarantee of our long term survival. And if humanity flames out in a blaze of biological armageddon, some other evolutionary species will end up "possessing" earth.
Very true, the only projects I've genuinely learned from were the ones that I didn't have a clue how to solve at the beginning.

[EDIT] Well, this comment is in response to a comment which has just been deleted. [/EDIT]

> Sort of a meaningless statement, Columbus never claimed America for himself.

Of course he didn't.

> Kind of like the article itself: how could space even belong to a country? What is the meaning in that?

Well, it wasn't so long ago, when american colonists could discover a land or territory and claim it for themselves. After all, it is the way USA became what it is today : U.S. -- A., kind of.
You nailed it : how could space (or a planet, or part of a planet) could belong to a country ? What if USA claimed Mars ? Of course they won't. Of course if they did, the UN would say they can't. But ultimately, space is like anything else, it belongs to whoever controls it.

>jcnnghm is on the point. To add to his point, the US continues to innovate in space exploration, and the pride in doing so fuels that exploration.

Of course the pride is for the US. But still, it's a mankind achievement, one for which we all thank US.
"High-speed rail is going to break CA financially." When I hear this, I wonder what the west would be like if people had said the same of all the infrastructure we rely on in the west today. The rail, the roads, the bridges, the dams. Everything.

You say "very little of the world is NYC/London/Japan."

Well you know what? The western US would have nearly no one living in it if it weren't for big infrastructure projects. It's naturally a very inhospitable place, too little water half the year, too spread out, etc. But we've turned it into a place millions can thrive in. High speed rail may not be as critical as water, but it's ridiculous to think we can't build a modern railroad today.

If we can't build a modern railroad today then we're already broken. And if we're already broken, what do we have to lose?
>I hated Hemingway in high school. His book was like, "The army marched. And fought. And marched again." Or something like that.

Finally, a very informative and intelligent literally opinion.

>Hemingway is crap. Writing 101: A "story" is an interesting narrative.

You are confusing literature with pulp writing. The above statement is the equivalent to saying "A proper movie is a fast editing film with plenty of explosions and a rocking soundtrack".
I'm 17 and started teaching myself Python last year when they told me the course at my school was cancelled since only 5 people enrolled. I was incredibly disappointed. I wanted to learn programming because I love computers (of course), but also because I had very few things I attempted to master of my own volition. I felt that much of what I did was fragmented, satisfying an external pressures to succeed in all my academic subjects, nothing I could call a passion. It was a smack in the face when my school wouldn't support my desire to connect with something meaningful.

Fortunately, I picked a hobby that really accommodates self-learning and did as much coding as I could on top of school. Now I'm picking up web programming, looking into using Django and building my own site. What programming really brought to me was a new sense of mastery that originated with personal interest and drive. I think this feeling is what the latter part of the blog started to get at. It overrides any insecurity against geniuses or whatever because you'll be too proud of putting in your own work and too proud of your progress to worry.
"I have noticed that on days when I eat very little, even though I was not hungry that day, I get a pretty nasty headache the next day"

Well, the most common reason is lack of water. Practically every food contains a lot of water and burning fat is a more inefficient process. So if you don't consume enough calories then you must drink more water/salt than usual.

Thanks for these numbers. It's interesting to see how it really breaks down.
Seems the picture is down, any mirror?
OK, but it's a pretty big deal for the U.S. Those are great contributions by other nations. However, if Canada had decided to produce an Alpha-particle X-ray spectrometer, it's not as if NASA would not have been able to make this possible. The same can probably said for every other component. This doesn't diminish any of their contributions and they should all be proud but I don't think we should downplay what this means for the U.S. and simply say "Aw shucks, this is humanity." As well, all of those involved in the press conference I saw acknowledged their international partners.

Yes, that's actually why I mentioned some of them get their funding indirectly. Hopefully, SpaceX will be able to diversify its sources of revenues and get some more contracts from the private sector. I'd be really surprised however if they are allowed to take funding from foreign governments despite being a private company.

Yes. The first phase of Atkins is this "induction" ketogenesis phase. My guess is if you follow the diet rigorously, you don't need the strips at all, but for me at least, it is nice to have a external confirmation that I am in the ketogenesis zone. They turn a shade of colors and the side of the vial has a scale.

The strips (Ketone Care) are really targeted towards diabetics and so which color on the scale they are may be more important to diabetics. I've been hitting "moderate" to "large" and I am happy with that place and level of precision.

Also, they make great little bookmarks even after they've been used.
It's not sugar, so yes.
I feel that there is a still stronger form of the argument out there. Or maybe it's closely related. It incorporates what you just said as well as the fact that intelligence != social status. If I could figure out how to properly word it, I would be quite a ways ahead of where I am now.
