In practice, anonymous accounts don't work and our generation will have a permanent record as data analysis gets better and cameras like Google Glass will become ubiquitous.

The idea is that you should think through your opinions so that you can sign under them proudly even 20 years afterwards. Don't run your mouth rashly or drunkedly, don't respond to provocations, etc. And if you're ashamed to sign under an opinion, then think twice - either change that opinion or dare to sign under it. I mean, you can't hide under anonymity 24/7, you have to say what you are and be what you say.
There are already a good deal of gas stations that fit the supercharger model -- they sell gas, but also have attached restaurants (often fast food, but often up-scale too). Basically the sort of place truckers like to stop -- food and gas in one go.
Some of the comments on the page are kind of distasteful, the ones that seem to think that significant population reduction would be a boon to humanity. They aren't volunteering to go first, are they?
Hah!

Actually, Salt Lake City in Utah is sort of vaguely like that, though with street numbers (in the usual units of 100 per block) rather than latitude and longitude per se.

The addresses are things like "250W 500S, Salt Lake City" -- which is going to be on the fifth street north of the Temple (and marked as 500S on the street signs), two and a half blocks west of the north-south street that's centered on the Temple (which is Main street, not W. Temple Street. W. Temple Street is what would be 100W if it weren't named).

I'm not sure what the history is on canonical orderings of the two parts of the address. Currently it seems to be usually the one that's the "street number" followed by the one that's the "street name", but I'm not sure if that's a result of auto-regularization by systems that assume such a thing, or if it's historical.
Since Camino is based off Firefox, is it possible to backport some of the OS X specific code? The primary reason why I'm still using Safari rather than Firefox is because it lacks Keychain support.
It does, but when they dug a tunnel for the LA subway it cost a billion dollars per mile, so I'm hoping that's not his grand idea.
Watching this thread shows us exactly why Linux never made it on the desktop:

Instead of acknowledging all the change which has happened since this bug was filed, you have endless bickering about details and a "Linux"-community full of people unable to agree about anything, not even their own victory.

Only when these people were removed from the equation and replaced with market and user-oriented people (ref the creation of Android), was Linux able to garnish a majority share.

It's sad in itself, and sadly enough, it's even predictable.
Actually I didn't think as much about how to do deacceleration correctly; you wouldn't be able to just flip it around and do ramjet-style, you'd have to use a progressively more sense fluid to fill the tube, which would create a lot of heat. You could still do braking over a hundred miles, progressively, though.

The main goal (vs. a regular cannon) would be to spread the impulse over a long acceleration area, not all at once like with an explosive-powered gun. People would probably be happiest with <1G.
God says...

20:19 When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war
against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by
forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou
shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to
employ them in the siege: 20:20 Only the trees which thou knowest that
they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and
thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee,
until it be subdued.

This is like something you'd read in popular science a decade ago where they are theorizing the 22nd century.

But people are very messy, annoying creatures.

Imagine all the social problems of a typical jet or subway ride today, now put them in a closed tube across the country.

The ride may take 30 minutes but the TSA line will be an hour to grope you.

At best this would work for cargo. But we'll have automated, self-driving semitrailers decades before this ever happens.
Don't even get me started... PaymentExpress demanded we sign a 3 year contract to move off their "starter" plan. This is after them stuffing up our recurring billing for 6 weeks late last year. Cost us thousands.

That's good to know. So are we now saying that proprietary software on a device is fine, as long as it can easily be replaced with fully open source software?
I think every journalist willing to write about bitcoin should know by now that mtgox security or anonymity issues has nothing to do with Bitcoin (I mean who is at Forbes and doesn't do his homework ?). This is another article that proves Forbes is clearly lobbying against Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is intended to be an anonymous decentralized solution for buying and selling stuff, you shouldn't be exchanging it for fiat money in the first place, but if you want to do so, of course you can, but then that's your own problem, not bitcoin's.

Forbes clearly doesn't want bitcoin to make it. They are saying it loud and clear by writing misleading articles.
I don't understand, so explain it to me like I am a child, I am certain I am missing something basic and the developers on the project aren't as dumb as it seems.

Seriously, it seems so goddamn basic. I am going to walk you through step by step how I would add an external library to my Go project.

#1. Switch to the go project directory
#2. Fork for the new feature (adding_mux)
#3. Run go get github.com/gorilla/mux
#4. Add import "github.com/gorilla/mux" to my code, use mux for great goodness
#5. Commit my code (this is commit of ./src which includes two things, the addition of the new github.com/gorilla/mux/* and my code using that new library)
#6. Merge
#7. Push

At this point, the commit that was just checked in doesn't need a change to its import path, will never break and will work as it was committed FOREVER. git clone FOO; go build BAR -- victory!

If at some point I want to update that library (new cool feature!)

#1. Switch to go project directory
#2. Fork for updating library (update_mux)
#3. Run go get -u github.com/gorilla/mux
#4. Write code using new awesome features
#5. Commit my code (again, "my code" in this case is both the update to the mux library, and my new usage of it, again committed together for great goodness!)
#6. Merge
#7. Push!

I feel like one of us is bat shit insane, and at this point, I am just hoping it isn't me.

EDIT: Another cool side effect of this is you end up with localized hermetic copies of your code with references for posterity to where you got it, bonus points!

EDIT 2: For reference, there are various forks of the source he "released" (abandoned? Sold for 28k? whatever) ... I think you can start looking at the github network from here: https://github.com/runningwild/haunts

Elon Musk knows how to keep Tesla and himself in the news.

Tesla is successful so far only because of his strategic marketing. People have build great stuff in the past but not really appreciated because they did not market well.

There is huge learning from this. I personally like his execution.

First, congratulations to the Pin team. However I wonder about the longevity of companies that are essentially Stripe clones in unsupported countries. Their business essentially depends on the fact that Stripe is not currently in Australia. Once Stripe announces support for Australia, why would anyone choose Pin over Stripe?

Postgres game schemaverse owned: how it happened
"Land Value Taxes" are the solution to this. Taxes on the unimproved value of land, deterring people from holding huge amounts of land idly. Provide a way to donate land to environmental trust if you want it to be empty, or give rebates for certain pro-civic activities (i.e. a 100 year no-build promise on your land would reduce your taxes substantially)
I had the same guess. See http://bentilly.blogspot.com/2012/11/speculating-about-hyper... for proof.

In thinking afterwards about the many good comments that dpark made in the resulting HN discussion, I convinced myself that while my idea was neat, it was unlikely to be correct. (I did not say so anywhere in the discussion because by the time I had worked this out for myself, the discussion was long over.)

Braintree are in Australia, and their API is quite lovely these days.

HNHalfLife[1] has absolutely solved that problem for me. It's a great little script, and unlike those Chrome-only extensions, it works on everything that supports Greasemonkey scripts. Kudos to polyfractal.

That suggestion fits amazingly well.

I have no idea how I missed that previous HN discussion, but I must have. Because I'd remember if I'd seen that suggestion.

Would love to hear their story.

For those who don't know, Perth is the most remote city in the world (according to Bill Bryson), and has a population shy of 2 million mostly in a sprawl that hugs the coast.

I spent over a month there and a couple of weeks exploring the area around Margaret River, lovely place... but reading this, what strikes me is how hard it must be to find support, raise money, and build a startup with reach in a city of such remoteness and with only a limited pool of angels and tech resource to call upon.

So... knowing the city and WA as briefly as I do, I think this startup would probably have a good story behind it about the adverse environment (for startups) in which they emerged and what it took to get to where they are, and where they're going from here.
Renewable enegery is presumably a semi-established market.

Augmented-reality-eyewear and self-driving-cars are not.
I don't know what your email said, but mine said it was $9 if you sign up this month, otherwise $50.
One easy way to get around bandwidth costs is to just have the clients of your service communicate directly (via Javascript or other client-side code) with your "machine learning as a service" (MLaaS? :D) vendor. Of course this model only works for certain businesses and allows learning on certain things, but you can go a pretty long way with this.
(some) people misrepresent themselves materially without any consequences (eg overselling).

(some) founders focus on control at the expense of value creation.
potential buyers have a hard time parting with payment details or paying for off-the-shelf software.

(some) people negotiate all the corner cases in extreme detail, to the point where the law of diminishing returns kicks in pretty strongly.

trust gap between regulators, law enforcement and business.

trust gap between promoters (aka founders) and investors and potential misalignment on timelines and strategy.

(some) government and companies focus on protecting themselves from the 1% of customers who are gaming the system at the expense of the 99% remaining customers.

Aren't these problems there everywhere ?
Except the one about trust gap between regulators, law enforcement and business?

For ex, is 'misrepresentation' really a problem that is specific to India?
Pretty much like in my country, Brazil, specially the part that Rich = evil, poor = godly.

Edit: but i think we got much more lazy people around here.
Deadline actually translates to total effort put in a task, which translates to total cost of the task, and Managers really need to know this to control the budget. whether to develop a feature is based on cost vs benefit analysis, so if as a Manager I can't rely at all on the cost estimates then how can you be sure you are building the right thing in first place.
So would I.

But if they can't succeed at what they're inherently good at (the web) then why have you any confidence in their success in any other market?
Too depressing to read in its entirety. One straightforward way of evaluating whether there might be anything wrong with practices in American prisons is to compare with other countries -- do other nations with stable democracies use solitary confinement in a similar way?

Of course, Elon Musk had to throw a wrench in it. From SXSW:

>[The Hyperloop is] not exactly a train. It's a new mode of transportation that doesn't exist. It could be underground or above-ground.

An underground Lofstrom loop seems unlikely.

The most revealing hints are the speed and the cost. Musk says it'll be cheaper than the LA-SF high-speed rail, which is so expensive because the allowable turn radius is enormous. Their right-of-way acquisition is constrained by ruthless physics. Since the allowable radius scales as square of velocity, anything doing LA-SF in 30 minutes will move more or less in a straight line (except near the endpoints).

So it has to be a straight line, but also avoid right-of-way issues. In my mind the Lofstrom loop is still the only option that fits.
What sets it apart from other forms of punishment? The definition of "torture" seems somewhat flexible.
> Secondly when you say that the warming is insufficient to create the run-away warming predicted in climate models you're in disagreement with the vast majority of people who have actually tried to run the numbers.

I think we are talking about two different things here. The ranges you mentioned (1.0 - 3.0) and (0.9 - 2.0) are predictions for the net change in temperature over 100 years when all mechanisms are factored in.

When I said the 'warming is insufficient' I'm talking only about one factor, the greenhouse effect caused by atmospheric CO2. This one factor has been the focus of most of the policy discussions related to global warming since it is the one most closely associated with human activities.

The CO2 greenhouse effect is a single factor that contributes to the ranges you described and by itself is insufficient to create the catastrophic warming represented by the upper end of those ranges or even the mild warming represented by the lower end of those ranges. All the models presume some sort of positive feedback that adds to the warming created by the CO2.

I'm not going to dispute your statement that the new error bars overlap with the old ones but the catostrophic scenarios are obviously associated more with one particular end of the error bars so that the shift in the error bars, while not invalidating the model in their entirety, suggest that the most severe scenarios are less and less likely and it is exactly those scenarios and the policy recommendations associated with them that has been most in dispute.
In 2001 I, for the first time in my life, had access to Macs running Mac OS 9. While I didn't like the operating system much (I was using Linux and Windows at home, the idea of having to assign memory to application manually felt so 80s) I instantly fell in love with IE for Mac. Back then, in PC land, Netscape Navigator and IE 5.5 were the dominant browser, and IE for Mac supported all these fantastic CSS properties that I knew about, but that I could not use in NN4 or IE5.5. I spend hours buliding pure CSS websites without images, simply utilizing unicode fonts, and CSS properties. Ah, those were the days.
And even more, a few weeks ago there was a really good sale of classic EA games at very good prices. I think this is the complete list: http://www.gog.com/promo/ea_weekend_promo_030513.

Standing on the downtown BART platforms you can't help but think about (and literally feel) the massive amounts of air being pushed around by the trains.

An evacuated tunnel would do wonders for both efficiency and hair styles.
Agree with most things except the "making glory out of poverty" bit. I haven't met a single person, across classes, from farmers to barbers to shopkeepers, who doesn't want to get richer. Sure, there is some truth in your point but I don't think it's worse than any other society.

Also, I think competition is quite fierce once there is a market. The trouble is that an innovative startup needs to change behaviour of people. That requires big capital investment and 7+ years of effort. The article covers this bit.
From your post, I'm fairly confident that you are young enough to not have visceral memories of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_energy_crisis .

Look at the picture of that line for gas on that web page. I can assure you that that was not an anomaly. It looked like that all over the country. There were probably cars in that gas line which did not fit into the picture. Those cars I'm sure were moving very slowly. At some point the gas station would run out of gas. Then cars would race to the next gas station.

Americans are used to turning on the water faucet, and always having warm, clean water come out of it. They are used to flipping a light on, and if the switch is not flipped again, that bulb burning for weeks on end until it burns out. Once you travel outside the US, especially if it is not somewhere like western Europe or Japan, you begin to see that this is not the case in much of the world. And I'm not talking about the poorest slum in Bangladesh or deep in the Amazon, I'm talking in large cities, in locally middle class surroundings in much of the world. It gives one perspective on such things. Warm, clean water does not consistently pour out of faucets by magic, it requires an infrastructure which a great deal of the world does not have. In the same manner, political troubles, wars, natural disasters and the like have a way of stopping oil shipments. It is not until this stops unexpectedly that most people realize the fragility of such things.

Easy way to prevent CSRF
What is the easiest and most secure way to prevent CSRF?

I was thinking about this for a long time. Every request, for instance images from a site send a HTTP Header called referer. HTTP referer is set in the browser based on what url the request comes from. Since Cross-site resource forgery, means that you are doing resource forgery on a cross site. That means every CSRF attack must send a HTTP referer. So if you are building a website, let say domain.com. Than you can easily check the HTTP referer that it has domain.com and not any other domain to prevent CSRF attack. And I think all web browser sends HTTP referer in every request.

I can not see any holes on this solution can you?
If you really want to get a good conspiracy theory going, note that a lot of the main Camino people have worked at Google for many years now (longer than Chrome has existed), and the other main person went to Apple.
