In particular, calling an executable js file a "binary script" just seems wrong.
There has already been consideration of producing polymers on Mars from the atmosphere. Agricultural domes would not have to be reliable as living spaces, so these could be built cheaply as inflatable structures. So mars could build its own greenhouses.

Cooling it isn't hard, when the steam hits the turbine it loses a lot of its energy and will inevitably cool down and condense. Then you just pump it around back into the chamber and re-steam it.

... Well, I did say "call me lazy".

Sorry, I have half a dozen color schemes in different packages that I switch between, a custom theme, several language plugins and more. It's enough work to re-install them through the package manager.

I could put them all in a folder and sync that across machines, but then they don't get auto-updated, and I'd have to use non-portable symlinks and would still have to manually update each of the likely 10 repos that I'd need to check regularly for updates.

You're being very silly.

To consider putting meat on salt as "original" is so bizarre it could only happen on a chat site populated by programmers.

Do you really need convincing to understand that lots of folks for time immemorial have used salt and herbs and spices (and sometimes oil, oh gawd, does that invalidate it?) for a goodly amount of time on every kind of meat before roasting it?

Or are you being willfully dense and obtuse, for kicks?

I'd recommend the book "Venture Deals: Be Smarter Than Your Lawyer and Venture Capitalist" for any entrepreneur seeking funding, especially if you feel in over your head with all this due diligence talk.
I would argue that the library contains no information at all based on the fact that its entire inventory could be generated by a very short program. It couldn't have much of a card catalog either because the index number for each book would have to be as long as the whole book (on average, within a constant factor), so it would be impossible for a user of the library to make an information profit. I remember reading something along these lines decades ago when I used to be interested in philosophy but I can't remember the reference. It may have been something by Dennett but would predate the reference given in the article.

Good because, provided those ads work well, it might create a sort of counter power against Adsense, which will likely benefit publishers and advertisers.

If Facebook gets to treat their publishers properly, as in, not like Adsense seems to do (automated account suspensions & all that), Google might start to see competition here.

It is important to take some of the LinkedIn employee counts with a grain of salt. Often times it clusters companies into different categories of sizes (i.e. 1-9 employees, 10-50 employees) so an 11 person company could appear larger than it is.
I think Diesel might be a bit more along the lines of Stallman, than Ford.

IIRC he wanted to make sure the Diesel engine remained an open design -- a design that was made to use biofuel -- for the betterment of mankind, basically.

Then someone threw him in the English channel (or so it would seem), and we got gasoline engines.
Iteration doesn't really happen daily or weekly. It's about gathering enough data and the making changes on monthly bases maybe. In my experience I learnt that it's easier and faster to build an iphone app (no fragmentations, no jelly beans or ice cream sandwiches) and show it to a large user base, iterate over it and then work on android.

None, Linux is better on almost every aspects, I don't see a real IT company using BSD over Linux. Linux is faster and support way more software / hardware. BSD was equal to Linux years ago, but Linux grew up much faster due to his large community and support from the industry.

I have to say, it's interesting to see where this is going to lead to. I thought this wouldn't be possible in Europe, but tide seems to be turning here too.

They could have mentioned it's not just "darknet" it's F2F - Friend 2 Friend network. So there aren't public exit nodes as there is with Tor network. There are only relays, between network nodes.

I just wonder when Freenet, GNUnet ja Tor will be banned on same basis? As well as other tools like it.

Based on this policy any "cyber locker" could be taken down. It doesn't matter if they knew what the file content was or if they didn't. Maybe this comment has something illegal embedded using stEganogRaphy? Maybe Hacker News will be taken down too, due spreading illegal content?

Isn't it fairly well accepted that language affects perception and even explicitly vision? Cultures that have words or expressions that other cultures don't have. Groups of people that have more granular colors and then recognize more distinct shades of those colors than those of us that have always just known "that's red or pink" rather than more distinct points between there.

Yes, if it's there. The coupon wasn't there for this book, and I was just encouraging the purchase regardless. One of my favorite reads.
You may not want to be part of an ecosystem, but every business ever wants you to be in their ecosystem exclusively. If Amazon can keep your credit card on hand, it makes it easier for you to buy things from them, whether they be physical goods (how they hooked me) or digital goods (how they are trying very hard to keep me).

I lobbied for a long time against DRM, and then I gave up, because I did want some of the content that was only available via DRM. I'll probably regret that the day Amazon decides to change the way their purchased movies work, or iTunes decides that it's streaming only (like Amazon is currently). But the fact is that unless I want to only consume Louis C.K. standup shows, it's really hard to not have DRM.

I still buy physical media a lot of the time. I would assume Sony would still make money on the Bluray licensing, the cost is passed on to me, but then I have a copy of the movie with which to watch on any of my TVs or loan out to someone else.
Not in the slightest. Those things could very likely be caused, at least in part, by toxicity not radioactivity. For example, deleted uranium has been seen to cause very similar issues, but nearly all of the issues associated with depleted uranium come from the fact that it is a heavy metal, not terribly unlike mercury. Issues caused by the radioactivity of the obviously lightly radioactive depleted uranium are minimal (if indeed present) when compared to the other issues.

Those people do not have the luxury of conducting scientific experiments, but we still have the responsibility to accurately report what is going on. This is important because inaccurate reporting can cause an unjustified marginalization in the future, if it is later discovered that the radioactive effects of the pollutants were not to blame. For example, if you frame an argument against depleted uranium munitions as "this stuff is radioactive!", you are going to lose valuable support and sympathy when it becomes clear that the radioactivity in depleted uranium does not account for the wide range of symptoms that you originally attributed to it.

"The food they are eating is radioactive" by itself, means next to nothing. It is true of all people. At least give us the radioactivity in estimated banana equivalent dosage.

The technology is interesting, but the title is misleading at best. The water is still boiling, but only a small fraction of the volume needs to be at the boiling point. The tidbit about "cheap and abundant source of steam" is totally uncalled for. Unless you're changing the heat of vaporization of water, you will always get the same amount of steam for the same amount of energy input.

Why was this announced with only 8 days until the event? Assuming it takes three days' shipping for a test copter to arrive, that leaves zero weekends in which to prepare, for someone who jumps on it immediately. I think they're going to be disappointed by the turnout.
I'm not sure I agree. There are new models of pairing celebrities with startups that doesn't require 10% equity, or pairing them as your personal spokes person. Atom Factory's investment arm seems to be pioneering a new model here (www.AFSquare.com)
A while back I was reading some interviews with older famous programmers, like Dan Bricklin, author of Visicalc. Before the spreadsheet, everything was special-purpose. I think the reasons you give are a big part of why the spreadsheet was so valuable. That's not to say special-purpose business applications don't have a market, because obviously they do, but before building something like that I'd double- and triple-check that it's really better enough than a spreadsheet to be worthwhile.
Among any population, there's going to be a certain number of miscarriages, birth defects, leukemia, and early deaths. It's easy to blame the toxic waste dump because that intuitively makes sense, but without any hard data, it's hard to draw a scientific conclusion. Elevated background radiation simply doesn't cause that many additional cancer deaths.

I read this article today which does a decent job of estimating cancer deaths based on a certain amount of exposure: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000087239639044477240457758...

Some locations recorded doses as high as 22 rem (total exposure before evacuation). Afterward, the levels of radiation dropped quickly; the largest component came from iodine, and its level dropped by 50% every eight days.

How many cancers will such a dose trigger? To calculate an answer, assume that the entire population of that 2-rem-plus region, about 22,000 people, received the highest dose: 22 rem. (This obviously overestimates the danger.) The number of excess cancers expected is the dose (22 rem) multiplied by the population (22,000), divided by 2,500. This equals 194 excess cancers.

People don't always research what's important to their beliefs. I'd even go so far as to say it's more common than not that a person hasn't adequately researched their beliefs, whatever they are. So she might not have even read the book she got this belief from.
Also, people have very different conceptions given vague data. So your interpretation of her beliefs is absurd, as religious scripture is ambiguous. Or more accurately, it doesn't matter whether it is ambiguous or not, as people will make that decision regardless of the ambiguousness of the original text.
Forget the political slant; either their writing is correct or it is not. Fox isn't evil because they're a right wing propaganda machine, they're evil because they lie.

This article is weak, not because Mother Jones is left slanted, but because the writing shows a profound lack of basic science understanding and carries a lot of unsourced scaremongering.

Radioactive material enters and leaves your body every day.

You have roughly 40 grams of potassium in your body at any given moment. Roughly 40 milligrams of that are a radioactive isotope (and a gamma emitter at that). Note that this isn't due to human industry: the radioactive potassium in your body was formed in stars billions of years ago. It's everywhere, and in nearly every natural aggregate material on earth, be it organic or not.

You are roughly 1 part per million radioactive potassium. Will this give you cancer? Possibly. Some couple 100 people per year globally will die of cancers induced by this potassium. This is just part of the radioactive background risk that we accept as natural.

You can't have an accurate conversation about material risks without quantifying concentration vs the background.
If you have collaborators that aren't fluent in latex, it can be useful to generate an output file (e.g., pdf) that contains marked changes.

I really like latexdiff[1] and a script[2] for making it easier to use with git. The generated pdfs have new text underlined with blue wavy lines and removed text struck through with red lines.

It doesn't properly show bibliography changes when using bibtex, but that's understandable.

According to this Wikipedia article, he's done something similar before (compromising a system and releasing credit cards). That could be a big hit to his case.

I hope he gets a fair shake, that his lawyers are strong, his judges are fair, and the jury is open-minded. Unfortunately, it seems like we've already gone off the tracks.
It is interesting that Facebook is shooting itself in the foot by spamming on Likes and discouraging Liking, instead of using them to target user-friendly ads, which would br a virtuous cycle.

Yep:

The problem with heavy government involvement in any industry is not that it's inherently bad, but that if it is bad, it is very, very hard to change. With minimal good regulation on transparency and accountability (I did not say no regulation,) consumers can quickly vet good providers.

New York is lucky in that it has reasonably good regulation on taxis, though far from perfect - there are many underserved areas for which there is no incentive for taxis to service, and where it is illegal for other parties to service. Along with service at peak times, New York would benefit from eliminating the medallion system and instituting a simple regulatory framework where anyone with appropriate training and licensing can provide taxi service.

Uber is an example of good quality taxi service without (or circumventing) regulation, as is Lyft and the other startups. The negative consequences are obvious simply by looking at the market opportunity and demand for fixes to the broken taxi system. San Francisco suffers from insufficient taxis and an inability to adapt to demand.

The purpose of the regulations has become primarily to protect taxi unions and companies by limiting supply, not to promote safety or prevent fraud.
The US government doesn't have a right to know where you are at all times, but the guardian of a child does have that right, or so I thought.

What's wrong with that?
There is a reason for that trend - Ubuntu LTS on the server takes less time to set up and manage than Red Hat/CentOS. Red Hat of course now does 10-year support for its releases as well as excellent security out of the box (10-year support is especially appealing to me as a system admin) but the ease of Ubuntu LTS upgrades and more frequent releases (i.e. up-to-date software) combined with the admin friendliness make for a more compelling business case.

I think you've perhaps misunderstood: the futures described in the
presentation are not at all like, say for instance std::future or
java.util.concurrent.Future - that's why I called them "composable
futures". `flatMap` is the key to great power.

Our systems, using this variant of a "future", do not wait or
synchronize at all, as you describe.

Another thing that I highlight a lot in the presentation itself, but
does not come through in the slides is that this doesn't really have
anything to do with asynchronous IO at all, it has to do with
composing your operations from smaller operations. It's possible to
use asynchronous IO (as we do—with asynchronous operations throughout,
and with no waiting), but that is not necessary. The important bit is
this: composing larger operations from smaller ones leads to
inherently modular code; code that composes well within the context of
larger systems. That's the important bit. That it is also easy to
implement a performant execution system for this is gravy.
And arresting you would be almost as easy. Worth it?
Sorry, but a lot of these points look like Microsoft-playbook FUD. I'm guessing that you're trying to get more hits via SEO on a hacker-friendly website.

Your post was great aside from this indulgence of paranoia. (Well, that and the denial of OneNote, because even though I'm a 100% Mac user at this point I still miss OneNote; there really is no alternative and I'm still sad about it.)

And I did downvote you because of it, though IIRC it gets wiped because I chose to respond to you instead. Accusations of FUD and the "Microsoft playbook" aren't right.
> Whether or not the US government can at this point in time read/hear what you say is somewhat irrelevant if they're monitoring it and recording it and there exists a non-0 chance of they being able to then crack it.

No, that's completely wrong. Just because something exists doesn't mean it's accessible. That's what warrants are for, and if it's unlawful for the government to ever see that information, then the warrant will never be granted.

We were talking about whether or not people are able to communicate privately, and you claimed it was impossible. This is factually inaccurate, as I've been trying to point out.

Do you have any evidence to suggest that the government is capable of breaking currently considered secure encryption? If not, shut the fuck up.
I'm not sure putting this in your terms is illegal but tampering with the amounts like that certainly is.

I still don't understand how cases like this are brought up. It seems to me like random people are targeted at random times. I see stories like this every day, not about Darknet specifically but about rulings against file sharers and pirates. Could anyone shed light on how a select few people are singled out of the masses of people who fileshare.
"The customer doesn't object to the app being faster, he just doesn't care. That's a big difference. If you make it faster, he won't come to you asking to slow it down because now he doesn't have time for coffee.

So, this is something that you generally ought to do, but you don't really need to."

I struggle with this personally. There are lots of things I ought to do, but don't schedule time for because they don't have a very compelling business reason to do so. The customer is happy enough to continue handing over the money at the rate that they are, and aren't likely to hand over more money if you make it faster (though a slow app could prevent new customer acquisition).
An obvious distinction is between accumulated past stored solar, which is finite, vs ongoing rate of harvesting new solar.

This is what we've all been waiting for: CPM ads based on age and gender. This is the holy grail advertisers have wanted. But it remains to be seen if this information actually translates into better online advertising. We will soon see. I'm skeptical. I am almost positive that this won't lead to better CPMs, higher click throughs. This might make brand advertisers, who don't care about that stuff, happier.. but still won't want to put ads on a penis growing forum. TV is what they like. So yeah, we'll see, but I'm not expecting much.
