I'm absolutely no expert at all in this area, but isn't fusion just happening because of extreme high pressure (caused by gravity in the sun)? In that case the moment it leaks out it simply means the pressure to keep fusion reactions going on is gone. Which is likely the whole difficulty of getting fusion running at all - keeping the pressure up high enough.

Although I guess it would cause some big explosion.
Had to browse to https://www.google.com/favicon.ico to actually see it on Google's homepage since I'm using Google over https. I tried hard refresh and it didn't change until I browsed to the https version of the new favicon.
is there a concrete reason for not liking them, other than the content possibly being "non-valid"?

I also feel somewhat dirty when using custom attributes, and I admit I preferred xmli-sh HTML and namespaces a-la ng:attr.. but is there any practical difference?
> I'm paraphrasing but does anyone wonder what happens if the fusion leaks out of the container and lights the planet on fire?

I don't much about fusion 101 but I read that the exact same question was asked when humans started using fission.

Any additionnal information on the short story you mention ? I'd be interested in reading it.
Angular supports using data-attributes or using classes, I just prefer using custom attributes:

Well, like I said, Wordpress defaults to placing all comments from new commenters in moderation.

It's a flawless test for internet tinfoilery; such people immediately allege scandalous CENSORSHIP when the software mindlessly does what it always does.
I found this statement particularly surprising:

>Java, with its faults, has completely conquered web >application programming.

Is there any evidence that this is true? It's certainly my experience that the direct opposite is true. Java is traditionally considered successful in everything except web application development.
The worst is when they use security questions that have answers that change like "what is the first name of your best friend?"

To be fair running experiments like these in our only biosphere isn't exactly the sanest thing. I'd rather be doing stuff like this (and biological research) on the moon or something. There's a good short story about this somewhere I'll see if I can dig it up.
The article is interesting on the whole regarding industries dragging their feet... but it didn't seem like it had much to do with Java.
Err, I'd have to disagree with the assessment that Ruby tools are good and Maven is bad.

I think you're being a bit sensitive , but if you're truly upset / offended, then I'm sorry.

Btw, this isn't a throw away account, it's just my first comment so it's not as sinister as you're making it out to be.
"Also Apple was proposing that royalty rate to be lowered by up to 100% in exchange for cross licensing."

Where is your source?
The real solution to 'deletionism' is to start your own wiki and impose your own policy. If your content is good enough for others, and licensed right, it can be copied to whatever other sites (wiki or not) want it; if it isn't, who cares? It will always be on your little wiki, available to the world.

Wikipedia has no obligation to host everything you want to put on it.

Why bother generating a hash based on your password and secret question? Just pick five random words and store those in your password manager as well, along with the question.

# gsort -R /usr/share/dict/words | head -n 2

thingstead

"What was the make and model of your first car" - turns out, I was driving a brand new Inductory Thingstead, and changing the minute details of the secret question (or me changing the password) won't affect anything.

(One potential downside is having to tell an operator that your car was a "trichroic somatopsychic", which would just take extra time to spell out, unless they see the answer in plaintext.)
Honest question. If it would make your fiancé's family happy, would you claim allegiance to Hitler and condone his actions "in name only"?

Do you really think that it's okay to condone the subjugation or murder of all people that won't convert to Islam, and then say that you didn't really believe the words you said?

Claiming that you are a Muslim is saying that you support and agree with Islamic doctrine and everything that comes with it. I'm not here to argue about what Muslims believe, but you should understand what you are condoning and take it seriously.

When you are willing to say things that you don't believe, you make your words meaningless.
>“It got left in the dust by the competition and kind of missed the smartphone transition,” said Charles S. Golvin, a mobile analyst at Forrester Research.

The new favicon is a white letter "g" on blue ground. If anyone, like me, is wondering, you can initiate a "hard refresh" by holding down shift while clicking on the reload button in Chrome (or, I assume, Firefox). Doing so circumvents all caching inside your browser.

Offline: how's it going?
I don't believe it's just about how your comport yourself to clients, but also to establish a hierarchy and pecking order within the organization itself.

The employer may feel that the caliber of people they are hiring requires a very strict, by-the-books mode of operation, and forcing uniforms of people goes a long way towards showing who's in charge, and enforcing discipline.
> So, what explicit rights does the customer have over that which they get with Facebook or Twitter? Do I have voting rights for features?

No the features will automatically get better, because you pay for the quality and all the plebs won't get in.
Developing an IRC frontend in Go.
not an expert here either, but that seems to be the case from what i've read. unlike fission, you need constant input of material (and in the case of sustaining a reaction on earth, energy to keep the reactor stable).

from the article:

Once the reaction is initiated by a laser shot, the heat produced by the atomic fusion will help to keep the core hot. But unlike a fission reaction that takes place in nuclear power stations and atomic bombs, the fusion reaction is not self perpetuating. It requires a constant input of material or else it quickly fizzles out, making the reaction far safer. And unlike what you might have seen in a recent Batman movie, the chamber cannot be transformed into a nuclear bomb.
Whether or not Megabox itself is a good thing, there's every reason to want to use a middleman when distributing music. Do you enjoy setting up web servers, employing web designers, handling CC transactions, selling ad space, etc? Or do you really enjoy making music and don't mind giving away a 10% slice to have someone else do all that?

I run a small music web server as a favour to a friend[1], and honestly it's a pain in the neck to manage it. If we could hand the whole lot over to whatever is the next MySpace, then we would.

How about "Fuck yeah! Ship that bad boy!"?

To me, "fuck it" has a defeatist connotation that really has no place around something that you are proud of.
XML and the language are my biggest gripes. Checked exceptions are a bad idea. Lack of lambda expression (though they are coming!) is pretty much a deal closer. After many years of working on code, the only real way to clean things up is often a lambda. Turn 120 lines into 30 over 4 files? No chance in hell you were using a Factory Method pattern to do that.
Please, if you can remember the name of the story, I'd love to read it.

Trance Scandal with DJ Mag, Ferry Corten, Paul van Dyk and others..
From a use case perspective, I'd put it in the Java camp. Can do low level, although probably not the best choice for really down-to-the-metal stuff (if you really need all the optimization you can get and don't want to deal with GC). Due to its pretty decent library support and compilation speed/build system, it's also a bit more suited to application where you might reach for a scripting language, as turnaround doesn't suffer too much. There's also a pretty strong concurrency support, using the CSP approach.

So no really narrow sweet spot. A good language for general network programming, which might include some framework web stuff, but also could involve writing your own custom servers and consumers.

There's probably a better language for each individual task, but go is quite solid at a wide spectrum of tasks. Good community, too, if a bit fanboyish.
I doubt it will be anywhere close to the quality that bandcamp currently offers. Given that this is Kim Schmitz we're talking about, I guess this will taste more like Grooveshark, operating in a very gray area, instead of a really caring about artists and listeners. But we'll see.

Besides I couldn't be more satisfied with bandcamp - this is a great place for artists and music enthusiasts alike. Everything from the flexible pricing options to the wide range of available formats and details like the lightweight and flawless HTML5 audio player and overall site design are very much appreciated. And perhaps most importantly there's actual talent to be found on bandcamp - it's hard for a competitor to build a similar community.

I may be wrong and this is very subjective and speculative but as far as I can imagine the average megaupload user I would expect to see a lot of low quality "DJ Überbazz"-kind of artists on Megabox instead of the ecclectic selection you would find on bandcamp. On the listener side - and again, if the Megaupload user base is anything to go by - I would imagine people that aren't that much into obscure indie artists and rather expect to find popular artists from major labels. For obvious reasons I guess that won't happen though - unless, of course, Megabox aims for Grooveshark's approach to featuring the repertoire of major labels.

Again, the last paragraph is pure speculation and just reflects what I expect from a music service by Kim Schmitz.
I love the financing approach of Dreamwidth - which is to have free users and paid users, and the paid ones get more stuff, higher limits, etc.

Because you don't want to lock free users out entirely, but on the other hand, having your users also be your customers is better for everyone in the long run.
I've certainly used it myself (for loading levels - bitmaps are great for level designing), dunno about performance with direct pixel access. It may be higher or lower.

Eating a Healthy Breakfast
Over the past few years I've slowly gone from completely skipping breakfast, to granola bars and donuts, to gradually eating what I consider a healthy breakfast.

All of these ingredients can be purchased in bulk, and I spend less than 5 minutes a day preparing my breakfast.

Water (2 cups) - I drink this first thing when I wake up

I microwave a bowl of water (1 cup) until it boils, then add:

Whole Grain Rolled Oats (1/3 cup)
Wheat Germ (2 tbsp)
Whole Ground Flaxseed (2 tbsp)
Oat Bran (2 tbsp)
Walnuts (1/4 cup)
Almonds (1/4 cup)
Raisins (1/4 cup)
Blueberries (1/4 cup)

I mix everything together, then let it sit for about 10 minutes while I go take a shower.

With my oatmeal mix I also take:

Orange Juice (1 cup not from concentrate)
Vitamin D3 (2000 IU)
Niacin (500mg)
Fish Oil (2 x 900mg of Omega-3) - enteric coated

Each of the ingredients provides important nutrients, based on various web articles I've read online; but do your own research.
This is fantastic. I followed it immediately. It reminds me of a condensed version of The Daily WTF [1] or perhaps http://bash.org/, but for Hacker News. More amusingly, it seems to have that strange meta property in which this thread itself is sure to generate a few more tweets, much in the same way that no one is quite sure if the real Daily WTF is the post itself or the comments that try to solve the problem in the post.

Massive 'WTF'.

So, if you live in the UK and directly (through license fee) or indirectly (through taxes) fund the BBC then you don't get access to the content they give away to the rest of the world for free? Okaaaaaay
Or a good understanding of site: in google search.
They have 33% of the market including most of the high end and they design 1 new phone every 18 months or so. How much do you think R&D is going to cost them vs Samsung which comes out with a new model every month or so and has a smaller slice of the mid to low end market.
It depends what you're working on.

If it's a weekend Flash game, fair enough. If it's a payment processor, and real customers are going to make or lose real money, that would absolutely count.

Hosted web operations seems like it's more in the second camp than the first. If their product has bugs and starts trashing backup servers, there's going to be hell to pay.
Thanks for your honesty. This is what a lot of people here seem to be thinking but don't dare to say out loud: Twitter without the "little people". Because you're worth it!
that's pretty ridiculous; had no idea access to BBC Future is blocked in the UK!?

and, ok, so it's a part of BBC Worldwide which is run as a commercial property to fund standard BBC programming, but does anyone have any insights as to why allowing access to such content in the UK would prevent or hinder this goal in any way?
A million times this.

Furthermore, we must not forget that even the "guiltiest" and scummiest men deserve the full protections the law affords. Shortcuts around due process cannot be justified by saying, correctly or not, "This guy is a total sleeze and guilty as hell".
Why would you, new to a community, open your account with a post that is nothing if not designed to denigrate someone you never met over a position he doesn't hold? If you disagreed with my original point, you could simply have provided a counter point. Instead you chose to berate me needlessly, senselessly and cheaply. I'm not exactly sensitive, but I did choose your comment to illustrate what I believe is going increasingly wrong here on HN.

There should be a higher standard. I'm still operating under the assumption that most of us do not come here to play trollish games of oneupmanship, but instead to exchange ideas and opinions.

Statistical Modeling to Find Olympic Cheaters
This phenomenon is explained by many-worlds: The two photons have both polarization orientations in the multiverse. We are limited to a single instance of the multiverse, and any interaction whatsoever between the photons and our universe will force them into a single instance of polarization orientation, as this is all we can experience, being interacting beings ourselves.

Reality is really an immense interconnected binary tree, and we must always travel along a single path. It has the property that reconciling paths (paths that diverged but met up again with no interaction in our universe) will again be accessible to us.

As Galileo was prosecuted for supporting Copernicus' heliocentric theory (more specifically for championing reason over faith), the Church's default stance was that the planets moved around the sky 'as if' they orbited the Sun. We are in a similar position now with many-worlds vs. 'as if' many-worlds, based on experimental evidence such as the Mach-Zehnder interferometer results.

Dont forget his business endeavous with Megacar, Kimpire, Ultimate Rally etc. For many of which he got up-front money from people who trusted him and then got screwed over by Kim in the end.
Hes doing it all over again, all the time until somebody finally locks im away.

I initially got to know him from playing Quake2, where he was a very skilled player (although he had a very strong PC and internet connection for the late nineties). He even set up a big 1on1 quake2 league, promised big prizes and many of the worlds top players signed up and played to later get screwed by him because of course, the winners got nothing. He used it solely as a vehicle of self promotion.

It's utterly baffling to me to see them specifically call out editor gender disparity as an issue and then seriously suggest that a ui redesign will fix this.

The issue isn't the software, it's people. People being allowed to be terrible to other people. People pushing euro/american-centric, white-centric, male-centric viewpoints. People creating a feedback loop of intolerance by making the place only habitable by the intolerant.

You can't graphic design these problems away.

I think Twitter is absolutely the right way to go on something like this. Your post is even more peculiar since Twitter supports RSS. [1] Does your reader not support RSS?

So what's the best path forward? I'm interested in building new models on top of existing software infrastructure (for the financial industry), not because I like brain damage, but because I'm very interested in finance.

If its a given that the industry is "antiquated and ridged" there has to be some room for people to solve existing problems. Even if it's laying new on-top of old (as some have mentioned). The question is: how do you identify the problems without going to work for a legacy infrastructure provider / integrator? Any advice out there?
