My argument is this: so what? You say these things like marriage, and in your case interracial marriage, is the be-all and end-all of happiness. I argue that it isn't, and all research directly correlating income and happiness finds that it tops out around $67k.

If you sacrifice happiness for marriage, and get a crappier marriage than you would otherwise have in the bargin, what is the point?
Wow, that's pretty remarkable. They even copied the RGB values for the possible character skin tones.

My Current Development Process
It's a whole nuther ballgame for commercial airliners, for example. They undergo hundreds of test flights and all manner of subsystem tests before getting certification.

Of course rockets are single use. Most rocket designs will never fly even half the number of test program flights a commercial airliner has to undergo. The cost would be (hohoho) astronomical.

A lot of the reliability estimates of spacecraft are really high speculative, and that's a very polite euphemism. I know personally a few people at Nasa involved in human spaceflight, and they say, in unguarded moments at the end of a long day, things like 'well... what the hell does 'man rated' actually mean anyway? does anyone know?'. No one does. Obviously to say 'it will be 99.9% reliable' is very odd - who is going to pay for the several thousand tests required to make a statement like that with any confidence? So yes, take all talk of safety, especially quantitatively, with a pinch of salt.

Interestingly the Skylon (reusable) Spaceplane is down to be qualified to the same standards as a commercial airliner. That might yield some data.

Fred, you're right. Adding responsiveness to the site, using Bootstrap or similar frameworks isn't too difficult. But, adding responsiveness with a layout designed to be functional specifically for a certain device/screen size, that is the complicated part. Thanks for the comment!
I just went looking for historical ranking data. What I found suggested that Stanford's Rankimg was higher in previous years, in 83, 84, and 85 they were number 1 and they have never dropped below 7. I can't verify my data, so please look for yourself, but unless this event was before then I doubt it happened.
It's not health insurance, but for day to day health care, anyone in Seattle paying their own way should consider http://www.qliance.com . Together with a (very) high deductible plan, I was able to get insurance and primary care for myself at around $100/mo.

The main selling point is the excellent access to care, though. When your time is money, you don't want to be bouncing around between three doctors for a month to treat an allergy that prevents you from sleeping. When I was on Awesome Traditional Insurance when I worked at BigCo, it sometimes took over a week to diagnose and treat a simple problem that was preventing me from working. With Qliance, I've gone from call-with-problem to prescription-and-plan-in-hand in under 3 hours. That's a big deal for a freelancer.

I understand there are other organizations around the country functioning on a similar model. You can google Direct Primary Care to find them.

So did the zunes that people bought stopped working after Microsoft said it was no longer selling any? Portable devices like these don't have a lifespan beyond 4-5 years these days and a company stopping hardware sales has nothing to do with the product already sold.

Besides in case of Surface software running is Windows OS which has been around for a few decades and the premise of Microsoft abandoning that is ridiculous.
I have stated my source in another comment. Indentured servitude is of course used a various points in history to refer to different things. But I am not "badly misinformed" - I have read a decent amount about modern day slavery, if you believe me to be wrong, please state a source. Mine, as stated above, was a book on slavery by the head of the "Free the Slaves" organization.

There is a very important distinction between "launch failure" and "exploded rocket." MERELY failing to launch is safe. I am normally failing to launch while sitting in my chair. If they can lick the "exploded rocket" issue by substituting it with a mere "failure to launch" then that is great.

People in NYC have warped perceptions of distance.

I grew up in Queens. My grandmother would pack us a lunch when my dad I visited my cousins in "Upstate" in Westchester county (probably a 30 minute drive on the weekend in those days). The Albany/Troy area to a New Yorker is somewhere between Mongolia and Boston.

The ironic thing is that millions of people in the NY metro area spend 1-2 hours commuting less than 20 miles every day!
Apparently the only way you can qualify for financial assistance is to be a woman. While I think that's great, and I understand why they are doing it that way (we really do need more women in programming), it leaves some men who validly need a hand up out in the cold.

Wait, so what is the alternative? If you're going to develop several different layouts, you have to still test them each, anyhow.

The only way out of the testing morass is to simply not target or optimize for some set of devices. I don't think that is the answer.

That's obviously false. Hundreds of millions of people trust Google with things of high importance. They're even approved to be trusted by the US Government (FISMA). Cities like Los Angeles have no problem trusting Google. Neither do businesses like Genentech or BBVA.

Who's the we? I'm sure tons of Y Combinator startups use Google Apps.
The fact that Apple.com doesn't have a responsive website is enough to make me doubt the benefits over cost of a responsive design. Of course, Apple has been hard-core pushing the app-mentality...but still, they have the budget and design crew to easily make a responsive site.

Ditto for the New York Times site. I haven't yet seen a responsive site that doesn't inadvertently hide critical features in its minimalist mode, because, I'm guessing, the middle-managers don't thoroughly test enough.

I wonder where the data for these rankings comes from. Is it publicly available? It would be nice to have a dynamic ranker which prioritizes the things you care about.
So what you're telling me is that they have a more sophisticated system than previous ones with sophisticated backups. When it comes to reliability sophisticated can go either way - it can be better or can just give more things than can go wrong. For instance what happens on your vertical landing if a sensor malfunction causes the software to decide that the rocket is not vertical unless it is at a 20% tilt? (Don't laugh - based on the description that Elon gave in an interview, the failure of their third launch was due to a sensor that concluded they were in high in the atmosphere while they were still on the ground. Bad things happened when it tried to initiate rocket separation on the launch pad.)

Until you have actual experience with the weird stuff that goes wrong in the field, you do not really know what is going to go wrong. And the more complicated the system is, the more true this fact is.

Incidentally I had the opportunity at one point to ask the first software developer ever hired at SpaceX whether he would trust his own software. His answer was enlightening, I wouldn't want to put my life in the hands of someone who trusted his own software, so I'm going to say no.

There is always SOMETHING that can go wrong. You want the person who created your safety system to be a paranoid freak. And you have to pray that they didn't miss something. You hope and pray for the best, but until you have actual data, you don't know how it is going to turn out.
Thanks for the info I was not aware of that. I mostly stopped playing QL (all games really) when I went off to university though as I am laptop-bound! I might check it out next time I'm PC-adjacent though! Warsow CTF is actually tonnes of fun if you haven't tried it, I haven't played it in 2 years but I can only imagine it's even better now!
I'll be especially interested if jailbreak apps make the cut. I think that will be the real iron test of this system. Will Apple allow through a non-malware app that goes directly against them? I'm not going to bet either way on this one, but I hope someone makes them choose.
I don't like Zynga either.

My understanding is that games can't be copyrighted, though:

Relax, no need for that. Obviously India is an English-speaking country, but when we targeted "English" speakers we expected a higher percentage of our traffic to come from Western sources like the US and Canada, instead of 95%+ from click farms in India. We found that wasn't the case, so we switched to country-specific targeting. Thanks for educating me, though.
But those aren't features you'd be getting in a non-repsonsive design. The features that often aren't in the mobile-responsive version are the features that you don't get in the mobile site or the mobile app anyway.

Also, I don't know how Apple not doing something is evidence of a trend.
Thanks for the reply! It's obviously working for you and your son.

I'm curious as nobody seemed interested when I submitted about this exact story 21 days ago. Maybe an experiment there in itself.
Actually White Star claimed it was "designed to be unsinkable", not that it was. And this was after describing a long list of safety features.

It's a very dangerous attitude, to claim a priori that your design is safer. The Titanic was so safe that it was not necessary to carry enough life boats for all the passengers. That's how safe it was. Once your focus is on the incredible confidence you have in the safety of your design, it's not on actual safety anymore, it's on making bold and confident advertising claims. It's hubris and there's a long history of what follows from it.
http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~hooft101/theorist.html is a great starting point. That page is written and maintained by a Dutch Nobel Prize winner who believes that it should be perfectly possible to learn physics from the internet if you know what you're looking for. If you go down the page he also includes references to print texts but the idea is for the web links to be sufficient.
Coarse language is (at least perceived to be) correlated with a lack of interest in reasonable discussion; If someone says "he should be teaching his son Python, not Javascript", you might be able to have a decent conversation with them about the relative merits of the languages. If someone says "... not fucking Javascript", that's not gonna happen.

Additionally, coarse language gets people's backs up -- people use more of it when they're... "being emotional", as it were, and it tends to bring out emotional (cf reasoned) responses in kind.

In other words, profanity is mutually causal with poor-quality discussion, by virtue of it being mutually causal with emotion overriding reason. I'd consider anything satisfying that property to be uncivil by definition, but that's semantics -- regardless, I conclude that coarse language is generally out of place on HN.

(Incidentally, I see dismissing attitudes you disagree with as "silly" and "to be moved past" in a similar light -- like profanity, it stands in lieu of reasoned argument, and the only effect it may have is to annoy those who hold the original sentiment.)
I don't really understand why someone who has knowledge worth sharing would just give it away to a private entity like Quora who will then make money off your contributions.

If you do want to share knowledge for free (which is of course laudable), there are plenty of other large, well-established websites that are free and open and will remain so in the future. Or you could just set up a personal/community website of your own.
Or rather than making tortured assumptions that Egyptians are especially tickled by VirtualBagel, you could use Occam's Razor.

You probably are in the minority, but I feel frustrated that there are no decent office like apps available on the tablets. There is a reason why, apple wants iPad to primarily be a consumption device. Office apps are not on top of their list. Microsoft looks at tablets as a productivity device so they are bundling the office apps in.
As others point out, they've been funded by the US taxpayer, mostly via Nasa and a bit by the DoD, almost entirely (before this announcement it was about 80% US taxpayer, not sure what that would be now, but more) so far. There are not many other places you can go if you want to get that kind of money.

Maybe they should release an app that puts some filters on your photographs.
The last point in the article mentions it, but if you just drop it into your application without taking the time to set the secret key / IV, they'll both be set to UTF-8 encodings of "deadbeefdeadbeef".

It's odd that they didn't want to use the machinekey (though maybe there's a reason for that), or an appsetting / custom config section for the encryption info - instead encouraging you to use the same tickets across all of your environments.

Also odd is that when you pass a string it uses UTF8 [or really any variable length encoding] to specify the IV and secret key (instead of taking a base64 string, which would encourage the use of actually random values).

A third oddity is that the cryptotransforms are never reused - I know that some can't be reused (and there is a property to indicate this) but the solution reconstructs a transform regardless of whether this is the case.

I've been bitten by the random "Invalid Forms Authentication Ticket" issue a couple of times (random windows updates breaking stuff, w00), and while it is tempting to implement your own auth layer (particularly if you have a number of apps that are running on different .net versions that need to share authentication tickets), it doesn't strike me as the best solution to the problem - indeed, if you have a hetrogenous system (ie are using asp.net as well as ASP MVC, or you've got some other product that is using asp.net for you that you don't control [sharepoint, SSRS, any of the others]), now you probably have two problems instead of one (unless of course, you go out and rewrite all of the asp.net controls which just go ahead and use the FormsAuthentication class).

I really like the solution given here, but it's only suitable for a subset of applications, and I wouldn't use it without a few modifications.
Actually, the job of the rocket is to to increase the potential energy of the payload, so using a He balloon to put some distance between the rocket/payload package and the ground is an entirely sensible proposition.
From the complaint "As demonstrated in the chart below,
The Ville uses the same precise RGB values for its skin tones as does The Sims Social. There is aninfinitesimally small chance that the use of the same RGB values for skin tone in The Ville as TheSims Social is mere coincidence."

Zynga could have at least tried not to make the copying so obvious.

"The result? Twenty three of the 51 students in our current batch are female, and Hacker School is much better for it."

Though I applaud HS's initiative and Etsy's sponsorship, it would've been nice to outline why HS is "much better" now that half the students are female.
Actually, the largest cost is building a whole new structure. With a fully reusable rocket (as SpaceX is going to use), the only costs are fuel and maintenance, which is more expensive than an airplane (~$50k per flight, IIRC), but negligible compared to the initial cost of designing and building the structure.

Could you imagine if airplanes were single use? There would no way Southwest could achieve a 45-minute turnaround time

And reliability numbers for man rated parts don't come out of nowhere. They come from extensive simulations and tests, which are then extrapolated. It's not the same guarantee as running thousands of end-to-end missions, but it's better than you imply.
From their previous contracts, unlike other contractors SpaceX is responsible for any cost overruns.
Javascript is the new BASIC then? If so, it is better.

You sure about "2nd wave"? '2nd wave' feminism is usually for things like "It should be illegal to pay men and women differently for the same work", etc. Most of that battle has been won to most people. What's currently going on is sometimes called "3rd wave feminism".

As for your theory that 'good feminists' stick with 'hateful zealots' in solidatory, that's not borne out by evidence. There is loads of infighting within all groups, including feminists. Some feminist groups are pro-prostitution and pro-pornography, some think pornography and prostitution should be banned. Some feminist groups welcome trans women, some ban them (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Womyns_Music_Festival ).

(This infighting isn't unique to feminism, it happens in lots of communities. Just look at why we have both 'Open Source' and 'Free Software' (i.e. a split))

Safety isn't as much determined by your aspirations, as it is by your record. 37% failure is an acceptable milestone considering all the SpaceX has achieved in its short lifetime, but I doubt would satisfy NASA's safety regulations for human spaceflight.

> Come over to feminism. We're fighting for everyone to have the same opertunities.

The problem is feminism doesn't actually do a particularly good job at making it clear that is what they are fighting for, and perhaps because there is a particularly vocal minority that doesn't believe that to be the true and proper goal of feminism.
The Apple site is basically unusable on an iPhone. You constantly have to pinch and scroll and zoom. It's always just seemed odd to me. It's almost as bad as HN on an iPhone.
I could see Valve's structure being good for a game company, but little else. I can't imagine writing business software, and then just publishing it and releasing a service pack and being done with it. When customers ask "when can I get feature X" they don't want to hear "oh our developers stopped working on it because they are working on Project Y, so how about never?".
> It's only the subsequent clicks that can be paywalled.

I find it annoying when that happens. Also, Google's recommendation is to allow 5 clicks a day and allow everyone with "GoogleBot" in their useragent. I wish the implementation was better.

> Is it asking to sign in? I tried in incognito mode and I could read the groups just fine.

You are right, I cleared my cookies and I stopped getting the login redirection.
> It is easy to use superlatives like "safest rocket ever designed"

Well... Considering its predecessor, the shuttle, was one of the least safe rockets ever designed, it's not very hard to improve upon. Use multiple engines, avoid solid rockets (at least the ones that cannot be throttled down), mount your heatshield where nothing crashes on it, keep it simple...
