You're assuming those are requirements. What's much more likely is that Google opened up the "bidding" between cities and said "whoever gives us the best deal goes first." Kansas gave them the best deal.

This is pretty much the status quo for major infrastructure projects. Look at what happens with new sports stadiums between New York and New Jersey -- they each bend over backwards to see who can provide the most subsidies.

Why do you think New York wouldn't be able to provide a competitive "bid" to be one of the next cities? I can see why they wouldn't want to provide e.g. free office space as a result of the difference in local real estate prices, but that doesn't mean they can't offer something else. Tax incentives are a popular staple for this sort of thing. And NYC has the huge advantage that Google can wire more customers for less money as a result of the high population density, which means New York wouldn't have to offer the most concessions in order to be the most attractive.

No it's not! Plus, you'd get to see the replacement targets while you're holding the keys, so you'd be more confident about the final result.

Seconded, they are extremely versatile, but make sure you do some research on how to use them effectively (books, videos, or trainers). Their unconventional shape, which makes them so effective, also makes it easy to lift in a way that is bio-mechanically unsound. Also, there are a huge number of compound lifts that you would never think of on your own (e.g., the Turkish Get Up—not a beginners' move for sure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGRBvom4Zrw)

I just completed a 3 month accelerator program based in Austin. It is great place to be.My co-founder is definitely returning to Austin once he wraps up his stuff from Orlando. I am also seriously thinking of moving to Austin but am unable to makeup my mind between Austin and Bay area/SFO.
I think that from the programming side he is just too modest, not klutz at all. Maybe he is also good at business in some way he don't even realize.
Just a clarification guys:

In California, the decisions of the state appelate courts (for levels below California's Supreme Court) are elective. That means, any lower court in the state can select to follow the decisions of any appellate state court. In practice, this means that the decision potentially applies to all of California, or to none of it.
Moreover, consistency is not required among the choice of precedence among lower courts, so a judge could theoretically select to follow the law of one appellate court in one case, and the law of an differing appellate court in another case (but in practice is rare, since it is a potentially actionable cause for dismissal from the bench).

The decision does not bar the use of GPS for navigation...it's still okay to have it on, showing you which way to go.

The decision specifically relates to the interactive use of a GPS device or software while driving. Meaning, i.e,. that you are inputting data with your hands while driving. Such acts were deemed to fall under the distracted driving laws. *And they're right: you should not be interacting with your screen while your car is not parked.

I'm looking forward to ditching Time Warner Cable Internet once Google Fiber goes live in Austin :).
Fair enough. I haven't looked at Starting Strength. I do think Stronglifts is "good enough" for people just looking to get in reasonable shape, and I think there are "transaction costs" benefits to having a short free PDF and a routine that starts with low weights to learn form as opposed to a thorough book and getting professional instruction.

I would limit that to just #2 in your list. The other two carrots are so out of your reach or subject to factors so far beyond your control that a love for learning and a burning interest in your research is the only thing that you can count on sustaining you.

It's a long drawn out process no matter how you look at it. The elements of your design have to be broken down and translated into code. Not just any code though, code that works on all major browsers and operating systems. The same change that fixes a bug on Firefox could break your layout on Opera. And you'll need a dozen Virtual Machines to even track down the bugs.
Building an AngularJS Directive for Cat Videos
Actually, in California, you are. CA distracted driving laws don't distinguish between stopped cars and cars in motion. Reading a text (or, now, checking a map) while stopped at a red light is legally the same as doing so while driving down the highway.

Hi, What is the required knowledge for someone to gain in order to contribute to Mozilla projects?
Linux is, unfortunately just as vulnerable to cross-site scripting and other browser-based attacks. The browser is also the biggest vector for Windows, and Linux has no better immunity, unfortunately.

I would recommend using NoScript or eqiv. plugin for your browser.

In my opinion, Windows' biggest security flaw, is teaching users to install software via the browser. But for non-open-source software ecosystems, it's quite difficult to create a white-list of safe programs.

My second recommendation is to, as much as possible, only use software from your repository.

In regards to the other recommendations about firewalls, while definitely not bad advice, if you are behind a NAT router, and on a small, trusted LAN, I wouldn't worry too much about it personally.
How about if they sent you a National Security letter, in which case it would be illegal to talk to your lawyer first?
It'd be interesting to know what other articles appeared on that day, it might be the case it was just bad timing or it got shadowed by a device release/big announcement.
What is the longevity of Minecraft? As a social sandbox game, people can play for a long time. We have a habit of treating games like movies, good for one time through, and perhaps most are. But what if some games are more like Legos, playable for years? Instead of a franchise (King's Quest I, King's Quest II, ...), what if there is some other extendable model, like buying a new Lego kit? I have no idea, but Minecraft is one of a handful of long-lasting games that suggest a different business model entirely. The MMPORGs are like this, too. I'm curious to see what they do with Minecraft Realms.

He never said convexity is a new concept. In the context of the industrial economy, convexity is a new problem because the past 100 years of industrial economic development has relied on concave work that is now being outsourced to computers.
It's more like business development rather than R&D. It's basically about finding new talented recording artists (performers) and publishers/writers who would be a good match for them.

When the infrastructure becomes available, I have a hard time imagining how "self-driving" cars could possibly be any worse than humans driving cars.
People overestimate their skills. I heard of someone, when hearing how far you travel before you realise you need to brake, said they could have braked and come to a stop in that same distance.
maybe, but then you haven't been subjected to a laundry list of treason charges and the 36 life sentences you could be facing. You are sitting at a comfortable desk, at home, and maybe sipping Pepsi or whatever :)

typo in budject
Why would you believe that?

Google makes a lot of money on ads. This is the broadcast television model applied to Internet service. They can subsidize their service with ad revenue (cablecos do this too) and still make money.

But you don't have to cover the whole nation to have an effect. You just find out the cities where the CableCos are extracting the highest rents and target those. You take away their gravy with the fattest OPEX margins and repeat until they cry uncle.
I just noticed that gigaom.com has at least 9 tracking services on their site.
>Selection, yes. Natural? Do you somehow imply that technology that "wins" mass adoption is "better"?

No, just that it's more fit.

Which is the exact same thing natural selection in nature implies. An animal that spreads is not "better" -- it's just more fit for it's environment.

For an OS "more fit" can mean: faster, consuming less memory and with more control over it, usable in more situations and more hardware, cheaper to run, leveraging existing libraries, etc. It doesn't have to be "better" as in "less prone to crash", "safer" etc.

The parent mentioned SUN experimenting with a Java OS. What a joke would that be, given that SUN's experiments with a similarly needy application (a Java web browser) ended in utter failure, with a slow as molasses outcome.

Sure, it would run better with the resources we have now. But a C OS like linux also runs much better with the resources we have now -- so the gap remains.

It's not like we have exhausted the need for speed in an OS (on the contrary). It's not also like, apart from MS Windows of old, we have much problems with the core OS crashing or having security issues.

In fact, I haven't seen a kernel panic on OS X for like 3-4 years. And my Linux machines don't seem to have any kernel problems either -- except sometimes with the graphics drivers.

So, no, I don't think we're at the point where a GC OS would make sense for actual use.

ARC, an example the parent gives, fine as it might be, doesn't cover all cases in Objective-C. Tons of performance critical, lower level stuff still happens in C-land, and needs manual resource management, it's just transparent to the Cocoa level.
Very interesting stuff. "The Benchmark" is the SP500 I'm guessing? I couldn't find the answer after clicking around for a bit, sorry if I'm dumb. You might list the reference security in the chart, or do something like "SPY (benchmark)" in the key.

I might not fully understand the use cases of multiple cursors, but if you were trying to accomplish the same thing (change every other occurrence of "item" to "item odd") in vim, you could do it with 'n' and '.'

Mantri: Javascript Dependency System
I did a PhD to learn and to contribute some small bit to our collective knowledge. I didn't do it to be rich nor famous. As far as "waste of time" goes, there is nothing to me more important than contributing to the worlds knowledge. Pop stars come and go and the rich are forgotten and irrelevant just as fast. Knowledge is the only thing that accumulates and continually helps future generations.
Maybe if I know HTML, then what I can do is make the page fail more gracefully when there is no JS. :) http://puu.sh/2v6hB.png
For more complex tasks like data format conversion, It's probably easier to write some small script and refine a couple of times to resolve possible conversion errors.
Are paper maps illegal too?

No, but using them while driving could be. Why are you trying to figure out where to go on a paper map while you are driving? If you don't know where to go, pull over, park, and figure it out safely so that you're not a danger to everyone else on the road. It's fine to have the map on your dashboard so you can use it for reference, but if you have to manipulate the map, you've probably fallen under the auspices of the distracted driving law.

I honestly just wish they'd settle for a simple, concrete description of what's acceptable while driving and what isn't.

They do: no driving while distracted. It is at once simpler, broader, and more useful than defining specific activities that must be performed.

When I reach over to tap 'next track' on the incredibly broken Bluetooth hands-free kit (that CA law requires me to have) to change tracks, I'm technically distracted.

In such case, your kit is no longer hands-free and is no longer the hands-free kit that CA law requires you to have. Get a new kit, or invest in steering-wheel compatible kits (generally requires a trip to an auto shop).

If anything, it's more distracting because Bluetooth (at least for cars) is a complete nonfunctional clusterfuck of a spec that never, ever works right and when it breaks in new and exciting ways I end up more distracted than I would have been if I just tapped a button on my phone's screen.

Simple solution: use the radio. Nothing requires you to consciously distract yourself so that you can select the next track. Indeed: it's your playlist. You should have thought about that ahead of time.
It's worth pointing out that "if the Wikipedia article contains classified information, Wikimedia France already broke the law" seems to be a misunderstanding.
From the article on the Wikimédia France blog currently linked by the OP (I understand it pointed to a discussion on Wikipedia earlier, but has been edited): "Wikimédia France is a charity which supports the Wikimedia projects in France. Wikimedia does not host nor edit Wikipedia: if some members are also Wikipedia contributors, the charity never intervenes in Wikipedia. It is independent from Wikimedia Foundation."
From Wikipedia: "Wikimédia France brings together users and participants in Wikimedia projects. It is recognized by the Wikimedia Foundation as a chapter; however it is a legally and financially independent entity, obeying different rules and a separate leadership. It is led by a Board of Trustees elected by the association members. Wikimédia France doesn't host any Wikimedia Foundation project and doesn't have any right to edit them."

You have to pay in advance. Right? So of course you'll have to get paid in advance.
"Life typically means just that - it's not some shorthand for a term of imprisonment."

Can you show me an actual statistics on what percentage of "X faces life" in English texts relates to severe criminal charges, and what percentage means something "non-sensationalist"? Because as a non-native speaker, I've always seen it in the former context.
"That' because dumbell lifts don't engage the stabilizer muscles. As a result, those support muscles are going to be underdeveloped and you won't have developed the coordination to engage them when you need them."

Untrue. Dumbbells offer a completely free range of motion, which is what activates the stabilizer muscles.

No counter-notices for some YouTube DMCA notices
If you restrict the debate to the maker movement and people at home owning machines, I completely agree that the average joe can't own a large 8x4 3D cutter and never will, yet they can own a basic small format 3D printer.

But the average joe is unlikely to own a kiln either and unlikely to own any form of industrial pre+post-process. Disruptive manufacturing is my main interest as well as the new models of digital distribution. I believe the home will be an extremely limited means of production, but indeed a computer controlled plastic extruder (3D printer) will be an accessible technology many can own.

It's a crazy thing to think about. I've always had the same dream of having written something everybody uses.

Show HN: OS & Country stats for 2 months of desktop app installs
It is the same way in Alabama. If you are stopped and are sending messages then that is just as illegal as if you weren't.

I think the idea is, if the light turns green, you might hurry to put down your phone and begin to accelerate. Meanwhile, someone may be in front of your car, and in your rush, you do not notice this and plow into them (pedestrian, traffic got jammed up in the intersection, whatever).
The killer app could be 'parametric' thereby needing digital-to-physical manufacturing such as 3D printing. For standard static items made in plastic, there are no signs what so ever that injection moulding will become redundant any time soon.

In the case of normal printing, the desktop printer didn't kill the rotary printing press, (althought the internet digital press may). Desktop printers and rotary printing presses exist for different use cases. Printing notes to red mark or travel tickets vs. a glossy magazine/newspaer. The relationship is akin to 3D printing plastic / injection moulded plastic and will likely have different use cases.

I would have disagreed with you until a few weeks ago. The past few updates have been requiring us to restart our servers. You restart it and a day later there is another update that requires another restart. Putting off updates on production servers is no longer a choice but having them now is not the best thing either.
You're talking about using a mechanical compressive wave in a medium to transmit information. Whether the medium is 'air' or 'stick', the rate at which such waves travel is generally called 'the speed of sound in [medium]'.

Wifi signals to Mars travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. This is faster than any mechanical wave because the changing forces of compression between the atoms in the medium must still obey the speed of light.
Isn't the point that dumbbells can be a strength trainer for someone just starting out? If its heavy enough for someone to only comfortably get 6-8 reps,then they're in the strength training target. Once they're capable of handling more weight, they can graduate to a bar. The OP's point was to lower the barrier of entry, right?
I'm not sure what my personal preference has to do with this discussion.

Regardless of what I may think or believe, the fact is that PostgreSQL is a superb relational database system. Of the open source database systems, it is by far the most capable and robust. Its price and very liberal licensing only make it better. This is indisputable.

I don't see how taking an unemotional look at the facts, especially when purely objective technical analysis is involved, is in any way "poisoning the discourse".

As professionals, we should be able to look at our tools and openly state which are good, and which are bad. Detaching oneself from emotions and personal convictions is one of the hallmarks of professionalism, regardless of the field in question.
