Well that's an even more complicated problem. That would depend on what type of cell you wanted to target and in what tissue. Most tissues are quite heterogeneous and constantly remodeling. Even if you could get the coordinates of a particular cell before it moved, targeting the specific cell (and not the others that are likely to be present in the vicinity)is a problem unto itself. Don't diss diffusion and biorecognition, they're quite effective. In my mind, any robot designed on the scale to target individual cells would have to mostly rely on circulation, diffusion, and chemistry to target a particular cell type. The mechanics are far from deterministic on the nano scale. I highly recommend this book if you're considering a project like this: http://www.garlandscience.com/product/isbn/0815341636. If this is for a visualization or a game, I would just fake the coordinate system.
Not sure why this is a surprise. Have we all forgotten how popular netbooks were? The Chromebook is a better netbook.

Beautiful. What's the best way to use this?
My point was that a average programmer does not understand a thing about assembly languages, because they are abstracted away by well working implementations of compilers and debuggers. I live under an assumption that such is also the case with HTTP, or at least should be, because for me it seems that a protocol as simple as HTTP would be abstracted away ages ago by libraries and implementations.

It's good to hear the current project is doing it right. (Former USAF here) The Air Force hasn't done too well in recent years... DIHMRS (the integrated one you mentioned) then ECSS, which just got cancelled at the end of last year. (http://www.fiercegovernmentit.com/story/air-force-cancels-ec...)

DoD acquisition at any level is about as convoluted as imaginable, trying to do things the 'right' way is that much harder when dealing with organizational inertia and red tape.
Bitcoin mining on Laptop GPU is known to destroy whole machines (usually by overheating several parts of the motherboard and ruining them... also ruining the GPU itself too)
That depends on who pays for the bill. I can see employees abusing their companies' electricity, or students in schools, etc.
I'd use this. 100% for sure.

In fact, "a plugin for Aperture/Lightroom that backs up to Amazon Glacier" is on my idea list. Great minds think alike, fools seldom differ.

One thing I'd like to point out is that photographers are unlikely to be as cost conscious as other consumers. We put a lot of effort into taking these damn photos, and it'd be nice if I could be confident that they'd outlive me. I'm willing to pay a premium for that.
>There were no calls for suspending civil liberties so as to keep the public safe. It was one of those moments when I realized how far my own country had wandered from its supposed commitment to freedom.

There has been a rash of 7 shootings in the last 5 days in my town. Nine people were shot and 5 killed. I haven't heard anything calling for any suspension of civil liberties...

The quote above sounds like misunderstanding and repetition of the false info that during the Boston neighborhood manhunt martial law was declared, which is actually incorrect.
For privacy, I'd love to switch to DDG. I try them out almost every time I read about them. But I always end up switching back to GOOG because I just can't find what I want.

Here's how today's switch went:

1. Install DDG chrome extension

2. Set DDG as default search provider

3. Search "duck duck go bang feature" (for a refresher)

4. What I wanted (https://duckduckgo.com/bang.html) was nowhere in the search results

5. Switch default search provider back to GOOG

6. Search "duck duck go bang feature"

7. #1 result: https://duckduckgo.com/bang.html

Alas, I wish it weren't so...
Once you press an arrow, we don't auto-switch any more. Having a faster animation is a good suggestion. I'd like to make the buttons bigger, but space is at a premium there.
I work in radiology too - interesting that we have come to the same conclusions for different reasons. You can't sue here (at least not easily) as there is a system of compensation for blunders etc and yet supply really doesn't follow demand and pricing is arbitrary.
I thought that was true for individual mining, but aren't large pools still filled with lots of CPUs tied together with BOINC or similar? I thought I read something along those lines a few months ago (a long time ago, I know), but I'm only vaguely recalling that.
> How can they undercut Amazon's dominance by charging more?? It might make them look better to publishers but not consumers.

Right. Which is why it took an illegal horizontal price-fixing scheme with notional competitors (the publishers) conspiring to raise prices to do that. Apple was a member of the conspiracy who sought to profit from it, but really the principal wrongdoing here was the conspiracy among the publishers.

Apple looks like they were singled out because they were the only one that went to trial, but that's just because they were the only participant in the conspiracy that didn't settle with the Justice Department prior to trial; the involved publishers were all charged along with Apple.

> I could understand the problem if Apple tried to raise prices and had a monopoly on ebooks

How about if many of the biggest publishers, together controlling significant market power in the ebook market, got together and conspired to raise prices, with Apple as willing and necessary co-conspirator (since they needed a retailer with a platform with instant mass reach so that they could have a credible threat of jointly abandoning Amazon if Amazon didn't match the terms they got from the new retailer.)

Because that's what was charged, and that was what the judge found the evidence supported. Its not about what Apple did on their own.
FWIW, I'm more technical than a typical user might be but I'd be very intrigued by a provider that used multiple cloud service and gave me the keys to the underlying S3 buckets (or whatever) so I could independently verify. That's probly a more valuable idea to a company selling backup to nerds though, I guess.
I don't know how many angles you've taken with this, or if this is a first mock-up, but to me it doesn't represent what I see NeoCities as being right now, and certainly not what I could envisage it becoming.

Try some different styles, try some more minimalist visuals, and above all play around with your copy placement - because it doesn't convey the 'click here and make a website' call to action that your existing design does so effortlessly through a combination of good copy and intuitive buttons/forms.
>Police officers in high-crime areas do come across legitimately dangerous people and may be greatly outnumbered.

That's not a society then. That's a ruined place. Fix it.

Sure, meanwhile, you can use the special "armed unit" there. That doesn't mean you have to have them on actual civilised places too.

But that won't fly in a country that people think owning a gun is some kind of special right.
I appreciate the spirit of your suggestion, but might I suggest that this would be the exact wrong move for someone trying to build the ultimate long-term cold storage for photos?

Necessity? The main necessity is keeping the status quo and the fat cats in power.
Re. multiplexing at the HTTP layer, because an HTTP replacement has to be deployable and testable. However, now that the ideas in SPDY have been proven and are on their way to being standardized, you can look at QUIC to see what can be done when not limited to TCP and HTTP.

By overhead I mean latency overhead -- running a program to download a site to a local file and then displaying it in a browser will almost certainly have a higher time to start render. Not to mention you're hitting everything cold (i.e., not using the browser's cache).
New Google maps; shutting down latitude
I see the proposals of binary protocols, push content, etc. as symptoms of a deeper issue.

Different than the spirit of HTTP, those protocols have little to do with publishing content anymore. They are just more kludges, in the history of kludges, to patch browsers into application platforms.

That mainly benefits the big web monopolists, who require the browser to be the ultimate application platform, where they can track to their hearts content, display unsolicited advertising, and basically extort business to advertise on their channels to remain relevant on the web. Not quite the idea of "information repository" that spawned the web in the first place.
> Apple (Jobs) were bullying publishers into contracts and abandon Amazon.

Not really. He was certainly encouraging them, but both the charges and the findings here are that the publishers themselves were actively colluding and looking for pretty much exactly what Apple offered before Apple offered it. The conspiracy didn't start with Apple, it was just that Apple's active, enthusiastic involvement was necessary for it to move forward.
Taking off on a tangent, the comment about firefighters and police reminded of Dennis Smith's 'Report from Engine Co. 82'. It described his life as a firefighter in New York City/South Bronx during the 1960s and early 1970s. What I recall most vividly from it was that locals would use the callbox to ring the fire department, in case of problem, because they didn't trust the police.
10k, 50k, heck even 100k a year should be nothing to your startup. That's the cost of one good developer. Focus your cost savings in other areas, if 100k is the kind of optimization you need to make (and you're actually spending 100k a year on virtual hardware) then you have other problems.
This article starts begins with an assumption and draws inevitable conclusions that are all out of whack.

The reason a TV remote is overly complex is because, while you might not need the "control caption" button, there is a subset of users for which it's critically important, and it is not practical to produce 15 variants of the remote. Google Docs is experiencing massive uptake is because it's online, linked to your gmail account and convenient to use - but it has got a long way to go before it displaces Word as a professional document publishing app (ever tried to get a print version of a good doc that was exactly the same as what you had on screen?). And FFS - has OP used Salesforce.com? Look up 'feature bloat' in the dictionary and you should get a link to it.

Of course there is always friction between features and user experience, but it's the designers job to marry the two. A designer who always says no is not going to be a designer much longer.
In what way does your anecdote support your assertion that "a year is much too long"?
Empathy goes both ways. That customer clearly had none, and furthermore didn't believe the support person when they repeatedly tried to explain things to her. We tend to see things like, say, boxers on their website and we instantly feel a connection to a person where none may be warranted. To unilaterally make that connection with an abusive person is a recipe for unhappiness and disappointment.

I feel reminded about my startup time, we had customers like this. "The website you built doesn't work." - "Why, what's wrong?" - "I don't know, but I can't get on the internet today. This is your fault. I want my money back." - "Sir, if your internet is down, that's nothing we can help you with. Also, I thought things were going pretty good with our project." - "If you can't help me, you're clearly incompetent. I'm going to sue you. You broke my emails, too." And so on.

A few times we actually sent someone over there to help with (in this example) their faulty DSL connection. This never solves anything. There won't be any gratitude, and the customer will be reinforced in thinking it's your fault. In essence they're being rewarded for abusiveness and unwillingness to think, too. From now on, every time his connection breaks it will be your fault. And you can't bill that time either. Furthermore, while you're sending someone over on the basis of goodwill and empathy, that guy will badmouth you all over town.

Of course, people have bad days, and there can be mitigating factors. But if someone is clearly not listening to a single word you say and is incapable of understanding facts, it's time to let that customer go. I can't say this emphatically enough: it's not worth it. Identifying personally with that person will only make you suffer even more - you have to keep in mind that they're certainly not making 1% of the effort you're expending on their problem.

It's been dropping since the 90s, but so far as I can tell there has been a large increase in violent crime rates since the 60s. If we're at a 50 year low in rates, what does that mean for the total number of violent crimes?

Which raises other questions. Has our militarized police force contributed to declining crime in the past 20 years? If so, to what extent?
Two potentially negative typos are one error away - dick and fuck. Maybe there are more but I can't see them; suck?
I really wish Instacart or something similar succeeds. The state of grocery delivery in the Silicon Valley is far from ideal.

The key, though, would get the supermarkets involved. The only way to lower the delivery price and stay profitable is to convince the stores that it's in their interest.
> Well, if the government will predictably use legal methods to prevent and even break up monopolies, that's indistinguishable from "monopolies being illegal" even if there is no explicit law that says that.

It is illegal to take certain acts that would form a monopoly (which is why the government blocks or puts terms on, e.g., some mergers) and it is illegal to use monopolies in certain ways to advance market power in other markets (one of the remedies for which may be breaking up the monopoly which was illegal leveraged.)

But simply gaining and maintaining a monopoly is not illegal, so long as you don't gain it by illegal methods or do illegal things with it.

Part of the reason Google has seemingly perfect search results is because of the bubble, and because it knows us so well. It's quite the dilemma of whether the loss in privacy is worth the better search results.

For example when I search 'Egypt' on Google all of the search results (except for Wikipedia) are on the competing political factions, something I've read extensively out of interest. The same search on DuckDuckGo results in a mix of travel, encyclopaedia, a dictionary.com definition of the word Egypt, linkbait, and a couple of relevant news articles.

The trade-off here is I would have to start being much more specific with my search queries to get what I want out of DDG, and often times I can't put into words what I want so being specific is not an option, Google knows what I want to see.

It will be interesting to see how long this lasts after the next big media fad comes and everyone forgets about the NSA.
Same experience here. This is why we always have more servers up than we need to. One time it took us almost a week of mailing before they replaced a broken hard drive. But they have to save money somewhere.

As opposed to regular prisons which are just slave camps? What exactly is the moral difference between the state of living between public and private prisons? (I take it that you were implying a difference exists, but I could be mistaken.)
A fair point. I still think "Yahoo" is a dorky name, but perhaps that's because I don't really understand why they still exist. Google, on the other hand, has earned my respect and thus I have stopped noticing what a silly name they have.
Well, since this case, while it was anti-trust, did not involve Apple having or illegally leveraging a monopoly (that is one kind of anti-trust violation, but not the kind here, which was Apple being a member of an illegal price-fixing conspiracy), Apple hasn't been found to be a monopolist at all, so that labelling would be inappropriate in a way which it was not for Microsoft.
I wonder what the IRS and/or the shareholders would say if Wal-Mart would state "that its books are in such disarray that an audit is impossible".
If you're using openssl s_client, why not use another such client? That's my point. The fact is, you type ascii because it's inconvenient to type binary, but you have software interpret bytes, so why not send what output you want, monitor what you want, using new tools. Haven't you ever used Fiddler, Charles Web Proxy, WireShark or anything else that makes binary protocols easier? Oh wait, yes, you have: openssl. My point exactly. You'll be able to unwrap the binary to ASCII representations as much as you like, no question, no harm, no foul. Or it won't get adopted.

I spent some time analyzing this when playing WoW. The strongest correlation is with the "goal" aspect of the players.

Imagine that baseball games were played using a non-discriminatory matchmaking service. So start of the "Dodgers vs Giants" game there would be a pause and then 25 "players" would materialize. Some of them would be athletes in their 20s with strong skills, some would be 40+ year old veterans who have good skills but aren't in shape, some would be 10 year old little leaguers who are very knowledgeable but inexperienced and out of shape, and some would be people who just randomly picked "play baseball" as their selected activity, not really knowing even what the rules of the game were. Then there is a "manager" who has to create a starting lineup, assign positions, and win the pennant.

Extremely frustrating.

Blizzard was working on "fixing" this by segregating selection of players into "twinks" and "non-twinks", "experienced" vs "non-experienced" and "hardcore" vs "casual" which helped but it still made for a crappy experience a lot of the time.
In regards to the first point, yes, there are more guns. I don't think the percentage of the population that owns 1 or more firearms has increased significantly.

> Yet another miscarriage of justice. The entire line of logic seems to have been that because Apple's actions led to increased prices it must be a conspiracy.

No, the line of logic was that because there was specific evidence of them conspiring with the Publishers, it was (to the standard required in civil cases, which is far from "must be") apparent that there was a conspiracy.

> Amazon was, and is, the monopolist using classic monopolist tactics

Whether or not Amazon is a monopolist (or even illegaly leveraging a monopoly) might be relevant in an anti-trust trial of Amazon, but it really doesn't have any relevance to an alleged price-fixing conspiracy involving several of Amazon's suppliers and one of their competitors.
Larger grocery store chains (i.e. Safeway) have a tremendous price markup, often times reaching 50%. This markup contributes to their profits, of course; but it also helps offset losses from the inefficient process of distributing perishable goods to consumers. If they could improve that efficiency while keeping prices constant, then grocery store chain profits could benefit substantially.
User experience designer here. I think the point of the article is that it's the business owner's job to say 'no'. The designer can make recommendations and provide best practices, but he or she should never be held accountable for requirements and feature sets.
