That's really interesting.

The RF shielded group evidenced more vigorous growth,
producing 74% more total leader length and 60% more leaf
area than the mock-shielded group, though the number of
leaves produced by both groups was nearly the same.

And

Leaves on active leaders in the shielded group were
substantially free of leaf tissue lesions (Figure 7), but
unshielded and mock-shielded leaves were all affected to
some extent by leaf tissue necrosis (Figure 8)

Would be nice if they had analyzed the spectrum to identify roughly what frequencies/equipment this area is exposed to.

Just like in the electronics-on-airplanes issue, it concerns and wonders me that there isn't more research being done in such basic areas.
So, that's interesting, but it solves a problem that others are creating. I'd rather solve it the right way, and enable a feature that works well for me : tagged emails.
If the method of action is the same as a microwave, it is just heating you. Human bodies are good at handling extra heat, so I'm not sure that warrants concern.
Ask HN: What analytics do you use when Google Analytics reaches its limits?
From Google's page on data limits: "Data collection limit: If you exceed 10 million hits per month, there is no assurance that the excess hits will be processed." - We are doing more than a million hits per day, so what now?

Right now Twicsy continues to use GA, and also Quantcast, but their numbers (on page views in particular) have started to diverge. On some days the page view counts are 60-70% different. We are not sure who to trust.

We have tried hosting Piwik ourselves and also a hosting provider, it just stopped working after a few days for some reason in both cases. Clicky doesn't support websites that get more than 1 million page views per day on one website. We can't find anything else appealing.

We don't have a lot of money to spend, at most we would like to spend a few hundred dollars per month. Is there something out there that is worthwhile at that price? If not, what are our alternatives?
I think you're missing the point: a direct subsidy is not the only way that businesses derive revenue from government.

The ZEV credits are granted to Tesla by California. By regulation, other car manufacturers have effectively been forced to purchase these, giving them value. Put simply: these credits only exist and have value because of government.

You can play games with semantics, and political pundits can argue about the merits of programs like California's, but those doing due diligence on Tesla should understand the regulations and how these credits may be valued in the future. For instance, if more auto manufacturers develop electric vehicles, the value of the credits will likely decrease over time, perhaps substantially, while the competition in the EV market will at the same time increase. Will Tesla suffer substantially in this scenario? Maybe or maybe not, but I haven't seen many analyses of the company delve into this, at least around here.

As for Tesla's track record: I think one can be truly impressed by what the company has accomplished thus far from a technology perspective without jumping to the premature conclusion that the company's investment has produced a viable long-term business.
You can always go KDE. In file management however, Dolphin is still an awkward kid compared to Konqueror, but hey, it's still there.
Maybe for the average person who could even understand his writings (I can't). However after reading his short bio on Wikipedia:

It sounds like this is an extraordinary man. And as Ted Nelson indicated, he graduated from Princeton as a salutatorian in only 3 years.
Thanks, that's helpful to know. We're working with some IP folks on this right now.

And arguably more than twice as powerful. You can run nearly every Windows app including games like Call of Duty, Portal, Farcry etc. You can run Photoshop, Lightroom, Office etc.. You can run VC++, gcc and even have room to store your project. All things you can't do on the same priced Chromebook.

Only 1 year ago before the Retina MBP every MBP being carried by the majority of geeks around Silicon Valley weighed 5.6lbs yet that did not stopped them from carrying them as laptops

Yes, I would.

Most people don't realize, but most good native apps (not games) are only available on one platform. Only big companies and funded startups has apps on all platforms that are good.

Also, major problem with Phonegap is jQuery mobile and similar frameworks. they are heavy and makes app sluggish.

Android specially chrome browser is another major problem.

Despite all that, you can still create a very good app that performs well on all platforms.

I wrote this hacker news HTML5 app mainly for trial run to see if it is comparable to native apps. I only developed and tested on mobile chrome, ios and desktop browsers. r/windowsphone redditors told me it works pretty good on WP8 too.

http://hn.premii.com

What I have learned?
- Android (chrome too), Firefox and Window Phone 8 - they need to provide better support for overflow scrolling.
- iOS - Remove 300ms delay for click for mobile apps
- WP8 - You can't fucking embed fonts in your phonegap app. It has to be hosted on remote server. Also you can't have ? in local urls (files that you are loading locally). It won't load those files.

My wife had a solid job offer rescinded a few years ago. She got the whole "welcome aboard" speech and everything. However, when attempting to check an old reference, the person she listed as her reference wasn't available and so another guy who'd she had never met decided to give it instead. He gave an entirely fictional and terrible reference for no apparent reason. They had never worked together, had no history or anything yet this guy decided he would just mess someones life up.
Anyway, even after explaining that to the potential employer they still didn't care and rescinded the offer.
Life is weird sometimes.
Many of the Google products you see today were 20% projects. Google had no idea GMail would be a hit. You can't simultaneously criticize management for 20% time being more difficult, and then criticize them for launching lots and lots of experimental products and then killing off the ones that don't work.

This was one of the great things about the book Accelerated C++ when I was picking up C++ but had already been programming for a few years. This sort of thing seems harder to find for other languages though.

Yes a very good friend working in finance had an offer rescinded at this stage. They won't tell you why, although if the credit score is the reason they are legally supposed to send you an letter. Seriously, though, 400 FICO is appalling, I've never heard of a score that low in real life. You don't have bad credit because you don't have enough money, it is because you are living beyond your means. Stop making excuses. You are making $23K, which is enough for a single guy to live on in South Texas (I survived on a similar amount out of school). You need to get organized and take care of your business, including the speeding ticket. If you are a developer you should freelance to earn extra income-- that can actually lead to a better full-time job. You also need to downside your apartment-- live at home if that's an option, or get roommates. Also get rid of cable TV. The good news is that FICO scores can rebound pretty quickly.
This is pretty off topic, but this reminds me of a weird thing that happened to me:

Over the weekend, I rearranged the furniture in my computer room in my home, and had just settled in to this new layout. Everything was working fine: my computer and my internet connection were all good to go. I booted up Counter-strike to play some rounds. However, the in-game server browser failed to find any servers. I closed the game and checked my internet connection: everything was fine. Maybe the master server was down? I went to bed.

The next day, I tried it again, and the same thing happened. No one else reported an issue. I tried playing TF2, and the same thing happened: all online functionality was nonexistent. It seemed like it must be a router configuration issue, but I hadn't messed with that in a while, and my games all worked fine last week.

I was able to play the same games on other computers without any issue. But as soon as I loaded up a game on my primary computer, I noticed the internet would go out for every system in my room. Maybe it was something with Source engine games? I tried a completely different game (some 2D indie puzzle game), and the same thing happened. Every game! The internet would go out, and turn back on as soon as I closed the game. It wasn't Steam either: non-Steam games did the same.

And it ONLY happened with games. Almost every other application worked fine. I was about to reformat, but I first tried booting into a separate OS on my computer and the SAME THING happened.

Finally, I noticed it failed with Unity and also with Photoshop. These programs all had one thing in common: they were GPU accelerated. How did that affect anything? Well, it only started happening after I rearranged my furniture. I had moved my router to sit on top of my computer. I moved it away by 1 foot, and then everything worked fine. It turns out, my laptop has Nvidia Optimus, which toggles between the discrete GPU and integrated graphics chip. When I launched a GPU accelerated program, my GPU would kick in, and I guess its operation emitted some electromagnetic field that interfered with my router.
Highly unlikely. Not sure you'd want to work for a company that wouldn't hire you over a speeding ticket anyways. Send me your resume if they end up rescinding your job offer.

I didn't even know there were developer jobs anywhere in the country that pays $12/hr.... but hey, free market right? whatever you are willing to take:)

I have hosting, but it's static hosting only- no server-side apps on the backend, it's with Fastmail & it comes with my email service, so I want to use that for the site. It limits me to a static only site, but I'm okay with that.

I like Ribbon for payment processing https://www.ribbon.co because it works on any website, especially my static site. It's expensive, but the user experience it provides is worth it to me, I like that there aren't any hoops for customers to jump through to check out, its as simple as I'd like my own checkout experience to be. To me that's high-end & matches the image I have for the company to project.

I'll look into both Mailchimp & Aweber & see which I like. Thanks again for all the valuable info. I appreciate that you've taken the time to post such a detailed reply for me.
I leased a Leaf about 3 days ago (24 not 36 months so I'm out of the $2,500 state rebate but I'd rather turn the car in, in 2 years and get another). Waiting at a Toyota charging station in Oakland, CA right now while the wife is getting a pedi. The Assistant Service Manager started to give me a hard time saying they only charge Toyota EV's, but his manager changed his mind. So far, so awesome. It's actually kind of exciting driving past gas stations.

My previous car was a sports cars (cayman) that I drove constantly over 80 MPH as a norm, and filled with 91 octane. (apx $4.15/gallon) The tires, the 60K service, brakes, etc. I just got tired of the expense and the looming expenses of owning a car like that. The Leaf is certainly a personal life change but I actually feel a bit relieved. I find myself chauffeuring my wife around more, which to be honest is kind of cool too. She feels it's too "technical" for her to feel comfortable driving, but that's just because she hasn't driven it yet.
The stat sheet (http://autos.nydailynews.com/compare/1525-1606-1613-3976/201...) suggests that the Tesla S has none of the features of the other cars (including some obviously false claims like that it has no driver and passenger seat airbags). All of Tesla's features can be found here http://www.teslamotors.com/models/features Almost every one of those red 'x's placed in the Tesla column is a bold faced lie.

The stat sheet states outright that Tesla has no backup assist, video display, usb audio connections, bluetooth, climate control, navigation, on and on, and every single one of those is included as a feature on this section of the Tesla page: http://www.teslamotors.com/models/features#/interior
Dolphin is probably the best file manager out there. The grouped view and meta data sorting is something that was really missing in the old Konqueror (and every other FM on Linux). The new (4.8+) display engine speed, agility and animations are also quite amazing. Of course, as I developer, I enjoyed more than once Konqueror ability to open everything inline (from remote servers), but this is not missing from Dolphin. You can still use KIO, tabs and (limited) splits. The interface is overall better. Not being able to open files inline is not very relevant (Okular is there for that).
The problem is they don't accept PUT or POST without a content-length and email attachments don't give you a length up front.

Nothing else explains why Microsoft would pay US $8 Billion for Skype. Profit margins are either exactly zero or near-zero for every call; this is not 1995 when telco call termination was 20x more expensive.

The simplest explanation is that reliable incumbent Microsoft was hired in some way to conveniently consolidate Skype. With as many channels through which Microsoft does business with the US government, favorable contract terms here and elsewhere could easily make the whole package worthwhile.
It's unlikely that you'll have a rescinded offer over this, unless you're applying for a bottom-rung job. Having bad finances isn't on the same level as a felony conviction for dealing drugs.

If it happens, and you have an offer in writing, the words you want are promissory estoppel. A good lawyer will get you 3-4 months in severance, should it happen. Rescinding an offer makes a company look very bad. Have an attorney handle that negotiation, should it get to that (and it probably won't).
Beats Momondo hands down.
I'd never heard of Momondo, so I just checked it out.

Hipmunk's UI is WAY better for me trying to pick flights. I don't care that I might save $10 or whatever, as much as avoiding 8 hour layovers, or leaving at 5am. You can't easily tell any of that with an interface like Momondo's (which is just a pretty version of every other travel site).
Why was Microsoft dominant from Windows ME to the release of Win7?

Why: It is hard to break a dominant position when they enjoy 2 order of magnitude more corporate support than their closest rivals.
While it's not the only resource of its kind, it does feature in-browser coding and feedback. You have to get through those exercises in order to continue. While I felt it was far from thorough (you can often ape the examples you've been shown without really understanding what you're doing), it's a nice way to get your feet wet by taking baby steps.

They also provide freebies/discounts, like free Peepcode screencasts, discounts on Michael Hartl's screencasts, etc (varies by course). I personally feel it gives me its $25 (often $20 - you get $5 vouchers for courses you complete) value.
50,000 cars sold globally makes it the best selling electric car? I thought that number was very low and then I googled some stats - it seems that the mini cooper for example sells ~100,000 cars per year. Somehow I'd have expected for cars to sell like a million units to make their whole manufacturing profitable.
I upgraded my 12.10 Gnome REMIX to 13.04 Ubuntu Gnome when it prompted me during my regular software updates, it f*cked up everything on my system. Figured there would be changes, didn't know it would be this bad.

I rather like Unity (12.04 LTS edition) on a 1080p monitor. I find it difficult on a smaller screen (e.g. 1280/768) so I use Ubuntustudio 13.04 which comes with XFCE4 in a rather nice implementation on my thinkpad.

I'm sitting out 13.04 Unity because of the LibreOffice menu highlighting and shortcut bugs.

Lobectomies have little to do with these lobotomies, beside the fact that you remove brain tissue.

Lobectomies applied to patients with a single epileptic focus (trigger zone), and they are narrowly targeted. The focus often lies in the basal portion of the temporal lobe, near the hippocampus, which is involved in long term memory consolidation.

The role of the hippocampus was actually discovered after a bilateral temporal lobectomy, when the procedure was still in its infancy. The patient woke up with complete, irreversible anterograde amnesia.

The unilateral procedure is safe, though, and is still practiced nowadays.
It might be the fan. Do more experiments and report back. You can also purchase Em field detectors or make one yourself.
wow, since there seems to be quite a bit of interest in this, I'll definitely be writing up a project prospectus. Check back in January of 2014, which is when my 501(c)3 status will clear. It's a reasonably easy experiment and a yes/no answer can be figured out within two years (that's an overestimate).
Perl is old. By old I mean powerful, mature, stable, and well known.

Some say it is hard to read. I don't know since I have been using it in production since version 4.
This is very interesting, but I would wait for some confirmations. If I read correctly, they didn't even repeat the experiment themselves.

Because it's extremely easy to make mistakes during experiments, and people usually underestimate that. Bad experiment design. Uncontroled variables. Strange statistical results dew to small numbers. I'm probably guilty of all of them! Go and find out any physics student/graduate and ask about his/her stranger laboratory "result".

To analyze a completely different example, to proclaim that a new elementary particle has been discovered, the community ask for a 5-sigma (i.e. if they are only measuring noise, the probability that the noise generate a similar signal is only 1/2000000.) The problem is that there are many many many running experiments and a 1-sigma and 2-sigma "discoveries of particles" are usual, but most of the just disappear when more data is collected. And that is done by experts, so the probability of a mistake or error in the design is smaller, but not 0 (remember to check the wires.)

The problem to give too much importance to a not reproduced, not peer review result is that many times it's interesting and feed the people's fears. Probably someone will propose to ban the wifi near the botanical garden and kindergarten because everybody knows that they kill seeds!

It could be good to discuss about these preliminary results, but with a very big warning signal that sais "STILL UNCONFIRMED". The problem is that in most of the press releasses and discussions the warning is just dropped.
Clarkson is not a news reporter. He's an entertainer. He is expected to be controversial and opinionated, and - depending on your viewpoint - quite delusional.

If he started being objective and serious, the show would be cancelled. As it in fact was before he pitched the new, less serious, format and convinced the BBC to relaunch the show.

Real-time is round-trip time: the latency between when new data is available for ingest and when that data shows up in queries. Database engines that are designed for these types of workloads have a round-trip latency measured in milliseconds, and some of them can do this while ingesting millions of records per second at petabyte scales. As in, very fast SQL queries concurrent with extremely high continuous ingest workloads.

The term does not mean "fast queries". Otherwise, many parallel SQL databases would be "real-time" because some of those are even faster than Impala in this regard. A system that uses offline data loading is not real-time.

Stream processing systems like Storm are real-time in this sense but are not databases. I don't think you can run ad hoc SQL queries against the data being processed by Storm nor can it store those streams to disk for future queries. They also aren't "big" data due to the limitations of the architecture.
Im guessing you should look locally first. In my town just had a tech week where alot of local investment firms where eager to fund some fresh ideas as long as there was some meat behind it e.g other funding , site developed , or in your case a tested entrepreneur.

It is not just a personal matter if someone has a criminal background or routinely doesn't pay their bills. Credit scores are a statistically significant indicator of other kinds of behavior-- for example, people with better credit are also likely to be safer drivers, which is why insurance companies use them.
The Role of a Dictionary
Never lie on applications, and companies do background checks because of PCI reasons. For instance, if you said you had a college degree and you didn't, you'd most likely not be hired. However, if they know you didn't have a degree and you didn't say you had a degree up front then most likely you're fine. Regarding PCI, if you're a felon they can't hire you. As far as I know, most companies don't look at credit score.
