(i'm a material scientist by training and by trade (up till a month ago))

to me, the history of materials improvements is the history of materials characterization techniques.

so much of materials science is just trying to figure out the right lever to pull to control some property, and modern tools like electron microscopy, tga/dsc, xps, afm, bet, etc. all provide amazing insight that was simply unavailable 150 years ago.

but also, 150 years is a really long time frame. people were only just beginning to study material fatigue in the mid 1800s.
Which conferences do you consider decent for someone with skills?
To put it a more geeky way, pretend you're building an API. Would you want your two disparate systems (your services, and the client) to "know" about each other's internals? Of course not. It's no different for business interfacing. All the client wants to know when it inputs Money into You is

1) What are the deliverables?

2) What is the value?

So that's all you should be concerned with "exposing" to their side of the API.
The "Clear AppCache, localStorage, sessionStorage, and IndexedDB while refreshing the app" feature sounds nice. I don't know if you should call it "hidden feature" though. The other stuff is good as well. Good job everyone.
Depends on how the company applies the math. If a company wishes to treat tax liability as a cost of doing business, I fail to see how that couldn't be done.
Except that you can't make noise in the press because doing so could get you arrested for leaking classified information. You can't ignore it, either, because that could also get you arrested. So what do you do? You follow it, probably.

The standard some have applied to Snowden should also apply to corporate executives: companies should oppose the orders publicly, and "face the music." Ballmer might be arrested, or his family harassed, but he would go from dancing developer monkey to public hero overnight.
I would guess it is a pretty good compromise between smooth, efficient and powerful (a smoother motion presumably allows a less robust drive train). They pretty much need all the watts the pilot can supply just to get off the ground.
A telecommunications carrier shall not be responsible for decrypting, or ensuring the government’s ability to decrypt, any communication encrypted by a subscriber or customer, unless the encryption was provided by the carrier and the carrier possesses the information necessary to decrypt the communication.

Note "unless the encryption was provided by the carrier." Skype is the one that provides encryption here (a carrier) as far as I understand. No user can influence it. You are right that they are allowed to make the systems where users would provide keys themselves and that then the carrier wouldn't be required to assist in the decryption.
um...citation needed?

I don't see how the argument "people are going to vote themselves larger basic incomes so universal basic income isn't compatible with democracy" could hold any ground.

There are no democracy on this planet in this century and the last where people could vote _directly_ for any kind of numbers regarding money matter.

On the contrary, nowadays the elected leaders vote their own salaries (I live in Europe)... and force austerity upon the weakest.

Nor has invention of internal combustion engine decreased the demand for cars. Programming today is far from its full potential, just like transportation was 100 years ago. Software is a very young technology and it is just beginning to take over the world, but keep in mind that developing it is a) high-skill job, and b) mostly aimed toward automating other people out of their jobs.
RAID is not a backup solution. If your filesystem is corrupted in software (or you just mistype and delete something important), it will happily replicate the damage across all of your drives.

Personally I feel recommending RAID to home users is generally a bad idea. It gives a false sense of security.
Funny, I also didn't need the code to translate the scrambled address. I knew his name so that right away gave me most of it:

tufqifo.n.ejfim@hnbjm.dpn
stephen.?.diehl@?????.???

since m=l in the name, assumed the same for domain, considering it's the most popular email service, gmail.com my first guess.

since n=m in the domain name, I assumed the same for the middle initial, which gave away the whole thing.
Good point, I never thought about that.

We sent the following to the media this morning:

Hello from FlightAware.com,

We are receiving a large volume of calls about Aeroflot 150, en route from Moscow to Havana asking if the Southern routing across the Atlantic Ocean is typical and asking if this routing avoids US airspace.

Because of winds (which blow East), the flight generally takes a more Northern route, up over Iceland, through Canada, and down the Eastern seaboard. However, on days when the winds are light or unusual, it can be more favorable to take a more Southern route which also avoids the additional overflight fees from Canada and the US. The route being flown today is comparable distance to the Northern/Canada route, although it appears significantly more direct due to flat projections of a curved Earth. The flight duration today is about the same as the last couple weeks, which suggest they're taking this routing due to winds/overflight fees. The last two times we saw this flight take a similar route were June 20 and June 8.

On the route it's flying today, it will fly in US airspace; the US controls most of the Western half of the North Atlantic. To actually avoid US airspace, a flight from Moscow to Havana would likely have to fly South to (approximately) Western Sahara and then West, which would be about 30% further than either of the routings discussed above.
That's an incredibly cheap dismissal that's simply not true

Examples, please, of books that investigate socioeconomic status & race that have not been called racist? Because I can't think of any. By the way, I'm not talking about literary explorations of race like "Huckleberry Finn". Although that was called racist too.

There are orders of magnitude more genetic [...] diversity among each race than there are between the races.

Hold it right there, buddy. License, registration, and sources please. Mostly sources.
I think we need a general review of this situation. I read the new page a lot (and flag a lot) and I am consistently seeing worthy submissions from people who are hellbanned. I don't have the time or inclination to dig into comment histories to figure out why that took place, but it seems to me that it ought to time out after a week or somesuch except in the most egregious cases.

Although I can upvote, there's no way to bring a worthy [dead] comment back to life. It's rather pointless to punish bad behavior (by flagging) if there is no corresponding method to reward good behavior.
The Best Search Engine You're Probably Not Using
Client certificates won't work well if you are trying to authenticated against services inside the corporate network (sharepoint, microsoft exchange, AD) and your connection passes through proxies such as Microsoft TMG. Your SSL connection will be terminated at such a proxy and you will have to setup kerberos or impersonation. It is doable just tricky to setup.
I think the best part is that Microsoft has been bragging about how they care about privacy so much more than Google therefore you should use their products/services, and now they just got caught red handed doing the worst possible privacy violations in the book.
Sooo true.
And although programming is fun, it's not necessarily how a person might chose to spend their leisure time.

As tomphoolery alluded to, maybe the problem is that our society as a whole gives too much credit to how we live our leisure life vs our work life? This isn't a problem related to programming, it's a general critique.

You could easily write the same article from the point of view of a 4.0 GPA college student:

Guys, we need to talk. This whole college thing is awesome. Most of you will only get 4 years of this. Why do we give so much credit to the guy who just won the case race but not the engineer who's developing the next rocket? WHY?!?! We should be studying!

I'm going to keep commenting and coding more than the average person.

Great article though.

Yes, exactly. They will have to sell millions of these. There is no way they can afford to do anything risky. It has to be faster, lighter, thinner and more desirable.
Various countries have dividend imputation for that:

If only these issues were as clear-cut as you seem to think they are.

There is plenty of evidence that the risky loans associated with the home mortgage crisis were motivated by federal policies advocated by Democrats such as the implicit guarantees associated with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The student loan debacle is another example of unintended consequences of government loan subsidies and there is considerable evidence that those subsidies are simply captured by the colleges and universities when they raise their rates.

Regarding defense spending, it isn't a surprise that the US spends lots of defense since the US basically provides a national defense capability for itself and most of its close allies. There is certainly plenty of ways to be more efficient on defense spending but Congressional support for inefficient defense spending is hardly a Republican phenomena. It is a systemic problem.

Anyone who thinks that the ACA is the be-all-and-end-all of healthcare systems is delusional. It is a bureaucratic nightmare riddled with stupid incentives, accounting flim-flam, and ridiculous complexity. Add to that the completely reasonable thought that the more appropriate location for these services, if they are going to be provided, is the states.

Immigration reform: Unending posturing from Democrats who seem to want no limits to immigration and Republicans who seem to want no immigration at all. On top of that, I don't think the public knows what it wants (i.e. no real grassroots consensus)

Abortion: I'm not going there other than to say neither Republicans nor Democrats are uniform in their opinions on this topic.

My basic philosophy is that neither party is acquitting itself with much distinction these days. It is foolish to think that the flaws in our public policy are the fault of either party alone -- they are both complicit.

We have a light version of this in Denmark. It makes a lot of people not want to work and is the main reason behind why the effective tax is somewhere in the neighborhood of 70%. Pay 45% income tax, 200% car tax (literally - a 10.000USD car costs 30.000USD), pay high property taxes, "green" taxes like on gas - and when that is done, please pay 25% VAT of everything you buy after that.

And you know what? About 80% of the Danish love this system enough to not want to change it. A party suggesting a 40% flat tax is considered extreme in Denmark.

I happen to hate it, but that is just me...

Urchin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urchin_(software))
An average pro (domestic and international) vs. the pro who just won a worldclass TT. An average weight pro vs. a big boy like Tony Martin or even more so Shane Perkins. I've seen quite a few pro wattage files, and 350 is fairly common for an average pro.

The more reliable measure is w/kg. Pros tend to range anywhere from high 4s (low-level sprinters or rouleurs) to mid 6s (world class TT'ers or climbers), with most being somewhere in the 5s. If la gazzetta's numbers are right, and if we believe Tony Martin's posted weight of 75kg, his 480 watts puts him at 6.4 w/kg.

A particular concern with quinoa, given its narrow (native) growing area, and the poverty endemic to that area, is that worldwide demand for the crop has out-priced its growers' and their communities' ability to afford it in order to feed themselves. A select few brands set aside some of each harvest specifically for that purpose (and also put some of their profits back into improving the farms, sending the farmers' children to college, and that kind of thing), but so far, that's decidedly not the norm.
Other than passwords, client certs cannot be guessed or generated with wordlists, they can not be used to authenticate to other sites even if stolen, and they cannot be forgotten (at least I tend to forget passwords for rarely used sites way more often than I lose data through HW failure).

So I'd say there are some advantages over passwords. And most of the functionality is already there, the only thing missing is a browser function to generate a keypair for a domain and send the public key, without much user interaction.

Except on Linux. As an anecdote, as recently as January, visiting any WebGL sites that used any shaders would reliably panic my kernel with NVidia hardware and the NVidia binary blob. I then switched to Intel hardware which is much more stable but also shows how much variance there is here.

For me to be comfortable with WebGL, we'll have to really train graphics card manufacturers to take security issues as seriously as web developers do. That isn't going to happen any time soon.

Yes. But, it's worth adding that MIT also uses a Shibboleth implementation (locally called Touchstone). On many core sites Touchstone handles authentication to the specific web servers. Touchstone itself can be authenticated to with either the individual X509 client cert or their password. Many people use password authentication to with the Touchstone server even though MIT has a website that (usually successfully)auto generates and installs the certificate in the user's browser.

Of course we are. The best of those ideas involve robots and weak AIs systematically replacing humans in everything they do.

What the author says is that the way to innovate ourselves out of this situation and end up well is not by doing more of the same.

Well, this camera's spiritual predecessor, the 808 seemed to shoot high megapixel images just fine. The Verge's 100% crops of the 34MP images look fine to me.

Trains are much less sensitive to fuel prices than trucks are.

The capital investment necessary to make trains work at all is really big. But after that the marginal cost of an additional car is very low. In terms of energy efficiency, trains are much better than trucks. What they lack is convenience, at least right now.

In terms of cost, trucks often win because the trucking company doesn't bear the burden of building/maintaining the highway system. Yes they pay fuel taxes, but trucks make basically all the wear on roads. Wear seems to be based on the fourth power of weight. Check this: http://facweb.knowlton.ohio-state.edu/pviton/courses2/crp776...

This is a common theme for basically everything having to do with energy efficiency. You can have low up-front cost and larger ongoing costs, or larger up-front costs and lower ongoing costs. In the case of trains the ongoing costs are similar at current fuel prices but once they double again you'll see more train cargo and less truck cargo.

Nothing happens by chance. How many times have we heard those words? And how many times have we used this sentence so prophetic and suggestive to give a meaning to the world around us?
Actually, it is more than a simple sentence. Behind it there is hidden a real philosophy of the existence that has had an incredible influence upon us, helping us to greet everyday life events, even the most ordinary ones, and to give them a meaning, turning events into a fruitful flux of coincidences.

Everything started with the “Prophecy of Celestino”, a luminous book written by James Redfield, a book that literally changed our lives.

Our themes are always deeply inspired. But Celestino has had the prerogative of being “self-imposed” and to fall on our path as an important, meaningful and prophetic sign of change.

Celestino is a responsive theme (built on Bootstrap grid); it is clean, easy to use but even powerful and versatile. Celestino is the winning choice for corporate and portfolio websites.
Yeah, but they'll look at that less-than-beautiful hump on the back and ask if that hump is worth the extra megapixels.

Plenty of people, if it also means their tax rate becomes lower. Or anyone who makes enough money that their tax burden is greater than the UBI.
Its a different form factor...especially the no hinge part.
You're missing the fact that if a middleman does the encryption or has access to the decryption key, then encryption is already broken.

A service provider is the middleman in this case and encryption only serves the purpose of you making sure that communications are with this service provider and not with another middleman.

"Breaking the encryption" is not accurate. They don't need to break anything as your data is in plain text on their servers.

In Underscore, you can do something like:

_([ ... ]).map( ... ).filter( ... ).value()

It's not exactly extending the native array...but there are far fewer side effects to doing it this way.
Ironically, expressing this in something like SQL actually speaks to the expressivity of the language because the solution was produced entirely with syntactic forms.

What? Pure untyped lambda calculus does things "only with syntactic forms". Don't tell me that your solution wouldn't use some basic operators other than rudimentary syntax. Keep in mind that in Lisp-family languages, many things that are a part of syntax in other languages are actually simple functions - arithmetic operations being a case in point - so you really can't avoid using library functions.

I believe that the major point of Clojure etc. is that they provide concise basic operations that you can use everywhere to compose complex operations better than you can do with, say, C#.
